Question

What is the slope of the line y=x+4?A. -4OB.112D C.-//-D. 4

Answer 1

Given:

`y=(1)/(2)x+4`

Using the equation of a line in slope-intercept form;

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ where; \\ m\text{ is the slope} \\ b\text{ is the y-intercept} \end{gathered}`

Hence, comparing the given equation;

`\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(2)x+4 \\ y=mx+b \\ m=(1)/(2) \\ b=4 \\ \\ Hence,\text{ the slope of the line is }(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, OPTION B is the correct answer.
