Question

Write an equation for the line that has a slope of 1/2 and passes though the point (-2,5)?

Answer 1

Answer: y = 1/2x + 6

Explanation:

b = y1 - m • x1

Plug everything in:

b = 5 - (1/2) • -2

= 6

Written in y = mx + b is:

y = 1/2x + 6

Answer 2

y=1/2x+6

Explanation:

Y=MX+B

m= slope=1/2

b= y-intercept
