Answer:

y=1/2x+0

Explanation:

slope : 1/2

y=mx+b is the equation

y-intercept is 0 therefore the equation becomes:

y=1/2x+0

Answer: y=1/2x

Explanation:

The equation we can use is slope-intercept form. The formula is y=mx+b. The m represents the slope, and b is the y-intercept. The line passes through the y-axis at (0,0). therefore, the y-intercept is 0.

To find the slope, we can take any two points and use the formula
m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) ) to solve for slope. Let's use (2,1) and (4,2).


m=(2-1)/(4-2) =(1)/(2)

The slope is 1/2. Our equation is y=1/2x+0 or y=1/2x.
