You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, with m as the slope and b as the y-intercept (what y is when x is zero). So you have everything you need in the equation itself (yay, no extra work!). So just plug in 1/2 for m and get  . Then plug in 9 for b, since a point is (0,9). You see that y=9 when x=0. So you should get  . This is your answer in slope intercept form.

Determine the equation of a line through (0,9) with a slope of 1/2. Write the answer in slope intercept form.
The slope intercept form is = ( y = mx + b ), where "m" is the slope.
.
It has given us the slope, so we can replace "m" with  ,
It would be [y = (1/2)x + b], or
.
It also gave us a point through the line, (0,9)
Since points are in the form (x,y), we can replace the "x" and "y" in our equation, ( x = 0)( y = 9), and solve for b.
.
 , or 
.
Now we can replace the "b" with the 9.
The equation of the line would be 
.
You can check by replacing the "x" and "y" again with (0,9).
.
Some other points to
are
(2,10), (-2,8), (-18,0), (6,12)
.
