Question

i need to identify the slope and the y-intercept of the line with a given equation, the given equation is y = 1/2x +5 . i need to graph it aswell.​

Answer 1

y-intercept: 5

slope: 1/2

Explanation:

The equation y=1/2x+5 is an example of y-intercept form(y=mx+b). This is where b represents the y-intercept and m represents the slope. I will not graph this for you but can explain it.

First plot the y-intercept on the graph. (0.5). Then use the slope to find the next point off of the y-intercept. So for example, the next point would be (2,6).
