Question

George drew a line on a coordinate system by starting at (0,-5), then moved 2 units to the right and 1 unit up to locate each new point. Which is the equation of the line George Drew?

Answer 1

y = 1/2x - 5

Explanation:

I'm going to use slope-intercept form. Your y-intercept is already shown when x is zero, which is (0,-5). Your slope is defined as rise over run, so 1/2 in this case. This gives you an equation of f(x) = 1/2x-5
