Answer:

y = 0.44 x - 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the points (2.5, 1) and (27.5, 12) (first and last points of the plot - please see attached image), we obtain the following slope:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

slope = (12 - 1 ) / (27.5 - 2.5) = 0.44

Now we use this slope to complete the equation of the line through those points:

y = 0.44 x + b

1 = 0.44 (2.5) + b

1 = 1.1 = b

b = 1 - 1.1

b = - 0.1

Therefore, the equation of the line becomes:

y = 0.44 x - 0.1

Answer:

y = 0.44x + 0

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the first and lowest and highest points on the graph to make an equation representing the approximate slope of this graph.

(2.5,1) and (27.5,12)

To find slope I am going to calculate change in y over change in x.

12 - 1 over 27.5 - 2.5 = 11/25 = 0.44

So far we have y = 0.44x + 0

To find "b" (the y-intercept) we are going to plug zero in for x, because the defintion of y-intercept is "the value of y when x = 0"

We get that the y intercept equals 0.

y = 0.44x + 0 or just y = 0.44x

I know I won't get brainliest, but hopefully, this helps, and you said that the other person couldn't get brainliest unless someone else answered, so here ya go!
