Question

im struggling alot on my homework page and here is one of the questions i need help on can someone please help!?

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

Express the equation in slope- intercept form

y = mx + b ( where m is the slope and b the y- intercept )

Here m = - 0.5, thus

y = - 0.5x + b

To find b substitute (10, 1) into the equation

1 = - 5 + b ⇒ b = 1 + 5 = 6 ← y- intercept
