SOLUTION: slope=m= y2-y1=55.9-59.5 x2-x1=1984-1964 m=-3.6= -0.18 20 y-intercept =b=+61 Can someone explain the steps to find +61 .I course understand all that is need

Question 551165:
slope=m= y2-y1=55.9-59.5
x2-x1=1984-1964
m=-3.6= -0.18
20
y-intercept =b=+61
Can someone explain the steps to find +61 .I course understand all that is needed for finding the line of best fit. I just don't know where b=+61 comes into play.
