Answer:
Intercept = - 3 ; slope = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points :
(3, 51) ; (5, 87)
x1 =3, y1 = 51, x2 = 5 ; y2 = 87
Slope intercept relation:
y = mx + c
m = slope ; c = intercept ; x and y are x, y vlayes respectively
Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope (m) = (87 - 51) / (5 - 3)
Slope = 36 / 2
Slope (m) = 18
The intercept c :
m = 18 ; x = 5 ; y = 87
Substitute values into the slope intercept formula :
87 = 18(5) + c
87 = 90 + c
c = 87 - 90
c = - 3
Intercept = - 3
