Question

Y = 1/2x - 4 Slope: X-intercept: Y-intercept:​

Answer 1

Slope =
`(1)/(2)` , X-intercept = 8 , Y-intercept = -4

Explanation:

the following equation is given in slope intercept form which is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

since m =
`(1)/(2)` and b = -4, we can say our slope is
`(1)/(2)` and y intercept is -4.

Recall that x intercept occurs when y = 0 so plug y = 0 in the equation then solve for x

0 =
`(1)/(2)`x - 4

add 4 to both sides,

4 =
`(1)/(2)`x

multiply by 2 on both sides,

4*2 = x

8 = x

x = 8

so our x-intercept is 8
