Question

Y=1/2x what is the b, or y-intercept in this equation

Answer 1

The given equation is

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

The slope-intercept form is

`y=mx+b`

The given equation can be written as follows.

`y=(1)/(2)x+0`

Comparing this equation with slope-intercept form, we get b=0.

Hence the value of b or y-intercept in the given equation is 0.
