Question

Write a linear equation that has a slope of 1/2 and a y-intercept at the origin.

Answer 1

y=1/2x

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is the most commonly used linear equation:

It goes like this:

`y=mx+b`

In this equation, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Your line has a slope of 1/2. So, your m-value is 1/2.

y=1/2x+b

B, your y-intercept, is at the origin.

The origin is the point (0,0).

So b, is 0 (y-intercept is the y-value when x is 0)

y=1/2x+0

=

y=1/2x
