Meaning of X in Slope-Point Form of a Linear Equation
Not what you're looking for?
The linear equation is y-2.68=m(x-2006).
The slope m=(2.68-1.80)/(2006-1975)=0.0284, therefore the formula of the mean average of gas is:
y-2.68=0.0284(x-2006)
OR
y=0.0284x-54.2904 (slope-intercept form)
Can you tell me what the x represents???
Thank you
