Question 304475: In the linear equation of y=0.15x +0.79 what is the slope or rate of change of this equation? What would be the y-intercept and what does the y-intercept represent? If the growth continues, what would be the price of gas in 2018? Please advise. Thank you.

This is written in slope intercept form. Therefor, the slope would be .15/1 and the y intercept would be 0.79
To figure out how expensive gas will be in 2018 we would need to know the year in which the equation is present so we can determine how many years after the intial year 2018 is. IS that info provided?
