Let's start with determing the slope-intercept form. This equation follows the form y = mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, we chose two y values and divide the difference by the two corresponding x values. The equation for the slope is . So let's choose y2 = .02 and y2= .01. The corresponding x values are x2 = 2 and x1 = 1. Therefore the slope is . So we now have the equation y = .01*x+b. To find b (the y-intercept), we put in an a value of y and x from the table and solve for b. Let's choose the first row, x = 1 and y =.01. Therefore , which means b = 0. Therefore our slope-intercept form is .

The rate of change is simply the slope, which is .01, and the y-intercept is b, which is 0.
