Write the equation of the line with given slope and y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Slope: 1/2; y-intercept: (0, -2).
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Lines can be expressed with an equation -that has this form:
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope of the line.
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept of the line.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "In your case you are told the slope is 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "You are also told the y-intercept is -2
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the equation of the line is
\n" ); document.write( "y=(1/2)x-2
\n" ); document.write( "---------
