What is the slope and y intercept of 15,3 and 21,6?

Question

please help!

Answer 1

slope-intercept form equation is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Find the slope m =(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂-x₁ ).

Substitute the coordinate values in slope formula.

m = (6 - 3) / (21 - 15) = 3 /6 = 1/2

The line equation is y = 1/2 x + b

Find the y-intercept value by substituting the any one coordinate point values (15, 3) in above equation.

3 = 1/2 * 15 + b

3 - 15/2 = b

 b = -9/2

The line equation is y = 1/2 x - 9/2
