Question

Please help me with this

Answer 1

Hi!

So the slope formula is y = mx + b.

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

so in this case, -1/2 is m which is the slope

and 7 is b which is the y intercept

Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

The equation is put in slope intercept form which is y=mx+b

The slope is m and in this case it is -1/2.
To find the y intercept substitute in 0
for x then solve.

`y = - ( 1)/(2) (0) + 7`

`y = 7`
