Question

Write the equation of the

line passing through (5,3)
that has a slope of 1/2.
A) Mrs. Reynolds y = 1/2x + 1/2
B) Mr. Preston y = 1/2x + 5/2
C) Coach Taylor y = -1/2x + 11/2
D) Ms. Greene y = 1/2x + 2
E) Mr. Moulden y = -2x + 13

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is A) Mrs. Reynolds y = 1/2x + 1/2

Explanation:

In the slope-intercept form of y=mx+b, m=the slope of the line

Therefore, y=1/2x + 1/2 has a slope of 1/2

As noted in the graph below, it is the only option listed that also intersects the point (5,3).
