Question

Write the linear equation in slope intercept form y-2=1/2(x+4)

Answer 1

y=1/2x+4

Explanation:

y-2=1/2(x+4)

(distribute the 1/2)

y-2=1/2x+2

(add 2 to both sides)

y=1/2x+4

Answer 2

y = 1/2x + 4

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Step 1: Define

Point-slope form; y - 2 = 1/2(x + 4)

Step 2: Rewrite

1. Distribute 1/2 to both sides: y - 2 = 1/2x + 2
2. Add 2 to both sides: y = 1/2x + 4
