Q. Plots \& Data AnalysisTrend LinesWrite an equation in slope-intercept form of the trend line.(1 point)
Identify Points: Identify two points on the trend line. Let's say the points are (1,2) and (3,4).
Calculate Slope: Calculate the slope m using the formula m=x2−x1y2−y1. So, m=3−14−2=22=1.
Find Y-Intercept: Use one of the points and the slope to find the y-intercept b using the formula y=mx+b. Substitute the slope and the coordinates of one point into the equation. Let's use point (1,2). 2=1(1)+b So, b=2−1=1.
Write Equation: Write the equation in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b.Substitute m and b into the equation.y=1x+1.
