Math Problem Statement

y=20.1x+67.1

Solution

You have provided the equation:

y=20.1x+67.1y = 20.1x + 67.1

This represents a linear equation in slope-intercept form, y=mx+by = mx + b, where:

  • m=20.1m = 20.1 is the slope of the line, indicating the rate of change of yy with respect to xx.
  • b=67.1b = 67.1 is the y-intercept, which is the value of yy when x=0x = 0.

Key Insights:

  1. Slope (mm) tells us that for every increase of 1 unit in xx, yy increases by 20.1 units.
  2. Y-Intercept (bb) tells us that the line crosses the y-axis at (0,67.1)(0, 67.1).
  3. This is a straight line with a positive slope, meaning the line rises as xx increases.

Would you like more details on any of these concepts, or how to plot the line?


Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What is the value of yy when x=5x = 5?
  2. How would you find the x-intercept of the line?
  3. What happens to the value of yy if xx increases by 3 units?
  4. How can you graph the line using only the slope and y-intercept?
  5. What does the slope of 20.1 tell you about the steepness of the line?

Tip: The slope of a line helps you understand how fast yy changes with respect to xx, so a higher slope means a steeper line!
