A .Write an equation for the trend line in slope -intercept form .

Given:

The graph of a trend line.

To find:

The equation of the trend line is slope intercept form.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the equation of the trend line is passes through the points (0,25) and (5,50).

Slope of the line is:

The line passes through the point (0,25). So, the y-intercept of the line is 25.

Slope intercept form of a line is:

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The slope intercept from of the line is:

Therefore, the equation for the trend line in slope -intercept form is .

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
