Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the equation.

y = 1/2x + 12

m=

b=

Answer 1

Slope = (1/2)

Y-intercept: +12

Explanation:

The equation y = (1/2)x + 12 is already in the standard form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0). We can see that m = (1/2) and b = +12.
