Question

Line l with a slope of 1/2 passes through (0,1/4) and (2,y), what is the value of Y

Answer 1

The value of
`y = (5)/(4)`

Explanation:

given slope=
`(1)/(2)`

the the points
`(0, (1)/(4) )` and (2, y)
`(0, (1)/(4) )`

now, the slope of
`(0, (1)/(4) )` and (2, y) are equal to
`(1)/(2)`

so
`(1)/(2) = ((1)/(4)-y )/(0-2)`

`(1)/(2) = ((1)/(4)-y )/(-2)` cross multiplication, we get

`y = (5)/(4)`

therefore the value of
`y = (5)/(4)`
