Question

Graph the line using a point and a slope. Write the equation of each line. b a line that passes through the point (4, 0) and whose slope is 0.5. PLEASE GRAPH THE LINE ALONG WITH THE ANSWER! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am giving ten points, to whoever who does so.

Answer 1

y=(1/2)x-2

To graph you can use two points (I will use the x and y intercepts)

Put one point on (4, 0) and (0, -2) and you will get your line

Explanation:

A slope of 0.5 is 1/2

in y=mx+b, m is the slope

so now we have: y=(1/2)x+b

we substitute 4 for x and 0 for y

0=1/2(4)+b which simplifies to 0=2+b

so b must be -2

this gives us y=(1/2)x-2
