To find the slope-intercept form equation of a line, we need two key components: the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b). The slope-intercept form of a line is expressed as:
\[ y = mx + b \]
In the context of your question, if we let:
- \( y \) represent the number of eighth-grade students attending the dance,
- \( x \) represent the number of seventh-grade students attending the dance,
- \( m \) represent the slope, and
- \( b \) represent the y-intercept.
However, to write the specific equation, we need to know the values of \( m \) (the rate at which the number of eighth-graders increases or decreases relative to the number of seventh-graders) and \( b \) (the number of eighth-graders when no seventh-graders attend the dance). Without specific data points or values providing these variables, we cannot write a definitive equation.
If you have any data regarding the number of seventh and eighth graders attending the dance, please provide it, and I would be happy to help you write the specific slope-intercept equation!
