If you knew that the vertical intercept for a straight line was 150 and that the slope of the line was 4, then the dependent variable would be 250 when the value of the independent variable is

Value of the independent variable = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept form of a straight line is represented by the equation,

y = mx + b

here y = dependent variable

        m = slope

        b = y intercept or vertical intercept

        x = independent variable

In our question,

y-intercept 'b' = 150

slope of the line 'm' = 4

dependent variable y = 250

We will plug in these values in the equation of the line to get the value of the independent variable.

250 = 4x + 150

250 - 150 = 4x

x =

x = 25

Therefore, value of the independent variable is 25.

your answer would be 10x - 1
