Write an equation in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, of the line that has a slope of –1/2, and contains the point, (8,1)
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "y=-x/2+b
\n" ); document.write( "solve for b using given points on the line (8,1)
\n" ); document.write( "1=-8/2+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=5
\n" ); document.write( "equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y=-x/2+5 \n" ); document.write( "
