Divorce and prison rates: This scatterplot shows U. S. divorce rates (per 1,000) and prison rates for drug offenses (percentage admitted to state prison for drug offenses) for 7 years during 1960-1986. The correlation is 0.67. What can we conclude from this data

step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

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

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
