To write an equation in slope-intercept form (\(y = mx + b\)), we need the slope (\(m\)) and the y-intercept (\(b\)) of the trend line.
If you have data points or a graph that provides these values, please share them so I can help you calculate the slope and y-intercept.
If you need a general explanation on how to determine the equation, here’s how you can do it:
1. **Calculate the slope (\(m\)):**
The slope is calculated by using the formula:
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]
where \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) are two points on the trend line.
2. **Determine the y-intercept (\(b\)):**
You can find the y-intercept by substituting the slope and one of the points into the slope-intercept form:
\[
b = y - mx
\]
3. **Formulate the equation:**
Finally, put it all together in the slope-intercept form:
\[
y = mx + b
\]
Please provide specific data so I can generate the equation for you.
