Question

Which equation represents the line that has the slope of 1/2 and contains the point (0,3)?

a)y=1/3x+1/2
b)y=3x+1/2
c)y=3/2x
d)y=1/2x+3

Answer 1

y = mx+b is the slope intercept form of the equation of a straight line
where m is the slope of the line.

Answer 2

so its either a, c or d?

Answer 3

how did you determine that?

Answer 4

because my math teacher told me that in y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept, right?

Answer 5

right. so if the slope is 1/2, then what would be the equation?

Answer 6

ohhh its d right?

Answer 7

yes. good.
