Question

Find the equation of a line whose slope is 1/2 and intersects negative y-axis at a distance of 7 units from the origin.

Answer 1

y = 1/2x - 7

Explanation:

The slope equation is: y = mx + b

m being the slope

b being the y-intercept

The problem says that the slope is 1/2, and says that it intersects negative y-axis, therefore the y-intercept is negative, so -7

Answer 2

Explanation:

`y=(1)/(2) x-7`
