Question

Can someone help me with this??

Answer 1

y=
`(1)/(2)`
`x+3.5` or y=
`(1)/(2) x+(7)/(2)`

Explanation:

Slope of 1/2 is simply up 1, right 2 (rise over run rule)

The y-intercept is 7/2 or 3.5 so the point would go through the coordinates (1,4).

As you can see on the graph, the points go up 1, right 2 with the y-intercept as 7/2 or 3.5. It also passes through (1,4).

Answer 2

Explanation:

m = 1/2

Point = (1,4)

General formula

y = mx + b

y = 1/2 x + b

x = 1

y = 4

4 = 1/2 (1) + b

4 = 1/2 + b Subtract 1/2 from both sides

4 - 1/2 = b

b = 3.5

Answer: y = 1/2 x + 3.5
