Question

Going through (-4,-1) with a slope of 1/2 put into slope intercept form

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

(-4,-1) is the given point of this line and the slope is 1/2. The equation for the slope intercept form is y=mx+b, in which m is the slope. So this could be simplified to y=(1/2)x+b. The b is the y intercept. Using the slope, (-2,0) and (0,1) are also points on this line. (0,1) is the point of the y intercept. So the equation is y=(1/2)x+1. We can check this by inputting the values to the equation: -1 = -4*1/2 + 1. -1=-2+1, check is correct.
