How do you put (2001,17.60) and (2002,18.75) in slope intercept form?

So first you have to find slope, which is m.

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

m = (18.72 - 17.60) / (2002 - 2001)

m = 1,12/1

m = 1

Now you know what slope is, you take slope intercept form, and put in m and either of the x, y values given to find b. I'm going to use the first set of (2001,17.60) for x and y.

y = mx + b

17.60 = 1 (2001) + b

17.60 - 2001 = b

-1983.4 = b

Now take the slope intercept formula again and just input m and b for your answer:

y = x - 1983.4
