Question

What is the equation of the line in slope intercept form that has a slope of 1/2 and passes through (2,3)

Answer 1

Y=1/2x + 3

Hope this helps

Answer 2

y = 1/2x + 2

*view the attached graph to double check the answer*

Explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

y = mx + b

y = 1/2x + b

(2, 3) ==> substitute the numbers into the equation

y = 1/2x + b

3 = 1/2(2) + b

3 = 1 + b

-1 -1

2 = b

Our final equation: y = 1/2x + 2

Check your answer using (2, 3):

y = 1/2x + 2

3 = 1/2(2) + 2

3 = 1 + 2

3 = 3

This statement is correct

Hope this helps!
