Question

A line with a slope of 0.5 passes through

the point (8.8, -22.2). What is the line's
equation in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

y = .5x - 26.6

Explanation:

You first want to put the equation in point-slope form, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-22.2) = .5(x - 8.8)

y + 22.2 = .5(x - 8.8)

Then you want to distribute and get y by itself.

Y + 22.2 = .5x - 4.4

y = .5x - 26.6

This would be the answer.
