Question

Slope intercept- equationthrough:(4,-2), slope = 1/2

Answer 1

Slope intercept equation:

y= mx+b

Where:

m= slope

b= y-intercept

We already have

m= 1/2

y= 1/2x+b

Replace x,y by the point given (4,-2), and solve for b

-2 = 1/2 (4)+b

-2 = 2+b

-2-2 = b

-4 =b

Final equation:

y= 1/2x -4
