Given:
The x values are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 16.
The y values are 20, 14, 10, 6, 4.
The objective is to find the slope value and y intercept.
The general equation of a straight line is,
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]Here, m represents the slope of the line and b represents the y intercept.
Consider two coordinates from the table as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(1,20)_{} \\ (x_2,y_2)=(3,14) \end{gathered}[/tex]The value of slope can be calculated as,
