What are the slope and y-intercept of the line of best fit on this scatterplot

A. The y-intercept is 8 and the slope is

Step-by-step explanation:

The point where line meets y-axis is called the y-intercept.

So, y-intercept = (0, 8)

Slope is the direction of line and it is calculated as,

where (x₁, y₁) and ( x₂, y₂) are any two points on the line.

Let (x₁, y₁) = (0, 8) and (x₂, y₂) = (6, 0)

∴

⇒

Hence, Option (A) is correct.

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )
