resulting line‚ give an algebraic representation of the line‚ and explain what the slope means. Answer: Find the slope of the line (call it m). Let Y = enrollment in econ courses; Let X = total enrollments. The slope is the rise over run‚ or‚ in this case‚ 1/4. Find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form: take any point (we’ll take (3200‚ 350) and use the formula Y = mX + b; and you found the slope (1/4) in the previous part of the problem. Therefore‚ 350=(1/4)*3200 + b‚ which implies b =
