Question

A line passes through the point (0, -3/2) and has a slope of 1/2. what is the eqaution of the line?

Answer 1

y = 1/2x - 3/2

Explanation:

We apply our knowledge of slope intercept form:

y = 1/2 x + b

therefore, we plug in the values for x and y getting

-3/2 = 0 + b

so b = -3/2, plug it back into the equation getting

y = 1/2x - 3/2
