Question

Plz help. Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line.

Answer 1

y = 1/2x - 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope

• b - y-intercept

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Slope m = 1/2

Point (2, -1)

Step 2: Find y-intercept b

1. Substitute: y = 1/2x + b
2. Substitute: -1 = 1/2(2) + b
3. Multiply: -1 = 1 + b
4. Isolate b: -2 = b
5. Rewrite: b = -2

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = 1/2x - 2
