Question

Write the equation of the line that has the indicated slope and contains the indicated point. Express the final equation in standard form. M=1/2, (6,8)

Answer 1

y = 1/2x + 5

Explanation:

Given :

Slope, m = 1/2

(x1, y1) = (6, 8)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 8 = 1/2(x - 6)

y - 8 = 1/2x - 3

y - 8 + 8 = 1/2x - 3 + 8

y = 1/2x + 5

Stamdard form of equation :

y = mx + c

Hence, equation is :

y = 1/2x + 5
