Missing part of the question

The following three points are from the graph: (2, 1990) (5, 4225) (9, 7205)

Find the slope and y-intercept

How to determine the slope?

The points are given as:

(2, 1990) (5, 4225) (9, 7205)

The slope is calculated using:

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

So, we have:

m = (4225 - 1990)/(5 - 2)

Evaluate

m = 745

Hence, the slope of the graph is 745

How to determine the y-intercept?

In (a), we have

m = 745

To calculate the y-intercept, we use the following points

(x1 , y1) = (0,y)

Recall that:

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

So, we have:

745 = (4225 - y)/(5 - 0)

Evaluate the difference

745 = (4225 - y)/(5)

Multiply both sides by 5

3725 = 4225 - y

Solve for y

y = 500

Hence, the y-intercept of the graph is 500
