Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6, 8) and has a slope 1/2

Answer 1

y=1/2x+5

Explanation:

Plug it into the formula for a point and a slope.

(y-(y(subscript 1)))=(m)(x-(x(subscript 1)))

Y-8=1/2(x-6)

Then multiply the 1/2 to the x and -6. After you do that, move everything so that it has y by itself on the left. Your ending should be y=1/2x+5.
