Question

What is the slope intercept form​

Answer 1

Find slope first:

`m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

Substitute a TWO points into the above slope formula:

Points: (-2, 0) and (0, 1)

`m = (0 - 1)/( - 2 - 0)`

`m = (1)/(2)`

Slope is (1 / 2).

Substitute slope into slope point formula:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - y1 = (1 / 2) (x - x1)

Substitute a point in the above equation:

Sub point (0, 1)

y - 1 = (1/2) (x - 0)

y - 1 = 1/2x

Get equation by solving for y:

y = 1/2x + 1
