A class of 24 students was asked to identify a team sport in which they have participated. Their responses are shown in the line plot. A) How many total responses are recorded in the line plot for the five sports?
B) What is the total number of students polled?
C) Give a possible explanation as to why the answers to parts (a) and (b) are different.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
