Part A: The amount of ice cream increases as the temperature increases. Part B: the slope is 2 and the y-intercept will be 5.
What is the slope of a line which passes through points ( p,q) and (x,y)?
Its slope would be:
[tex]m = \dfrac{y-q}{x-p}[/tex]
Part A: The relationship between the temperature of the city and the number of ice cream cones sold.
From the graph, the dots on the graph increase in the up-right direction.
Thus, The amount of ice cream increases as the temperature increases.
Part B: The line of best fit
First, if we draw a line through the points
we select any 2 points on the line:
( p,q) and (x,y) as (15, 35) and (0, 5).
The slope (m) is:
[tex]m = \dfrac{y-q}{x-p}[/tex]
[tex]m = \dfrac{5 - 35}{0-15}\\\\m = 2[/tex]
So, the line of best fit is:
y = mx + c
y = 2(x - 0) + 5
y = 2x + 5
The y-intercept will be when x = 0
y = 2x + 5
y = 0 + 5
y = 5
Thus, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept will be 5.
