Question

Write an equation of each line with the given slope and y-intercept. slope =1/2 ; y-intercept = 0

The answers are shown in the picture

Answer 1

y=1/2x

Explanation:

Equations of lines are written in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is 0. Therefore, we can substitute 1/2 for m and 0 for b.

y=1/2x+0

Adding 0 onto the end doesn't change the equation and doesn't serve a purpose, so it can be removed from the end of the equation.

y=1/2x

The equation is: y=1/2x
