Question

Determine the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line:
y = 1/2 x + 1

Answer 1

m=1/2, b=1

Explanation:

y=1/2x+1

y=mx+b

y is the y coordinate

m is the slope

x is the x coordinate

b is the y-intercept

You would identify that 1/2 is substituted into the equation as m aka the slope and 1 substituted for the b value aka y-intercept
