Question 1070152: A line with a slope of -1/2 contains the point (6, 6). At what point does this line pass through the y-axis?
Answer by rothauserc(4718)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We use the point slope formula for a line which is
:
y = mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept
:
We have
:
y = (-x/2) + b
:
use the point (6,6)
:
6 = (-6/2) + b
:
b = 9
:

the line passes through the y-axis at the point (0, 9)
