Answer: The slope is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the Rise (the change in y) over the Run (the change in x).
We can calculate the Rise and Run from the two given points:
(0.3) and (5,13)
Rise = (13 - 3) = 10
Run = (5 - 0) = 5
Rise/Run = 10/5 = 2: the slope is 2.
The equation for this line is y = 2x + b. The y-intercept, b [from the general form y=mx+b (where m is the slope)] is the value of y when x=0. The point (0,3) says y=3 when x=0, so b = 3.
y = 2x + 3.
