Sagot :

A.

Pavilion's line:

[tex]y=10x+50[/tex]

The slope of the line is the coefficient multiplying x, so it is m=10

Heliophobia's line:

To determine the slope of this line you have to use the following formula:

[tex]m_p=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}[/tex]

Where

(x₁,y₁) are the coordinates of one point on the line

(x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of a second point on the line

I'll choose to use points (1,85) and (0,70) but you can use any pair of points on the given line:

[tex]m_h=\frac{85-70}{1-0}=\frac{15}{1}=15[/tex]

The slope of the Pavillion's line is m=10 → it indicates that y increases 10 units for every unit increase of x.

The slope of the Heliophobia's line is m=15 → it indicates that y increases 15 units for every unit increase of x.

The increase of Heliophobia's line is greater than the increase of Pavillion's line.

B.

The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0

For Pavillion's line the y-intercept is

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=10\cdot0+50 \\ y=50 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The coordinates are (0, 50)

For the Heliophobia's line the y-intercept is given in the table (0,70)
