I do no understand this

Answer 1

The equation of a line for the given slope is
`y=(1)/(2) x+1`.

Solution:

Given data:

Slope (m) =
`(1)/(2)`

Point = (–2, 0)

`x_1=-2, y_1=0`

To find the equation of the given line in the point-slope form:

Point-slope formula:

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

Substitute the given values in the formula.

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

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

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

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

The equation of a line for the given slope is
`y=(1)/(2) x+1`.
