: Write the equation of the line with given slope and y-intercept.
Slope: 1/2; y-intercept: (0, -2). Can someone please help me with this problem and show me how to do this for the next time. Thanks. This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of the line with given slope and y-intercept.
Slope: 1/2; y-intercept: (0, -2).
--------
Lines can be expressed with an equation -that has this form:
y=mx+b
m is the slope of the line.
b is the y-intercept of the line.
-----------
In your case you are told the slope is 1/2
You are also told the y-intercept is -2
-----------
Therefore the equation of the line is
y=(1/2)x-2
---------
