Question

If the point slope form is y-3=1/2(x-1) what is it in slope intercept form

Answer 1

y = 1/2x +5/2

Explanation:

y-3=1/2(x-1)

Distribute

y-3 = 1/2x -1/2

Add 3 to each side

y -3 +3 = 1/2x - 1/2+3

y = 1/2x -1/2 +6/2

y = 1/2x +5/2

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
