Use the 2 highlighted points to find the equation of a trend line in slope intercept form

The slope intercept form of trend line is y=200x-399000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The coordinates of highlighted points are (2000,1000) and (2012,3400).

If a line passes through two points then the slope of the line is

The slope of the trend line is

The slope of the line is 200.

Point slope form of a line is

The slope of the trend line is 200 and it passes through (2000,1000). So, the equation of trend line is

Add 1000 on both the sides.

The slope of the line is 200 and y-intercept is -399000.

Therefore the slope intercept form of trend line is y=200x-399000.
