ANALYSIS OF GRAPH –

Calculation of slope of the graph ( Marico Ltd.)-

Formulae –
Y2 – Y1= m (X2 - X1)
Y2 = 1660/5 X2= 3 (month)
Y2= 332
Y1= 1610/5 X1=8 (month)
Y1= 322

332 – 322 = m (3 – 8)
m = 10/-5
m = -2

Equation of the line- Y – INTERCEPT

Y- Y1 = m (X – X1) When X = 0 , Y = -2 *0 + 338

Y= 338 ,
Y – 322 = -2 (X – 8)
therefore, y intercept is (0 , 338)
Y- 322 = -2X +16
Y = -2X +338

Calculation of slope of the graph ( Colgate Palmolive) –

Y2 = 7040/5 X2= 3 (Month)

Y2 = 1408

Y1 = 6880/5 X1 = 8 (Month)
Y1 = 1376
1408 – 1376 = m (3 – 8)
m = 32/-5
m = -6.4

Equation of the line- Y – INTERCEPT

Y- Y1 = m (X – X1) When X = 0 , Y = -6.4 * 0 + 1427.2

Y – 1376 = -6.4 (X – 8) Y = 1427.2

Therefore, y intercept is (0 , 1427.2)

Y = -6.4X + 51.2 + 1376
Y = -6.4X + 1427.2
