Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the line which passes through (4, 2) with a slope of 1/2.

Answer 1

Equation of Line with given Slope and one point is:

\[y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\]

Where, m= Slope = 1/2

And,

\[(x_2, y_2) = (4,2)\]

Put these values in the given equation and then solve to get the answer..

Able in doing or not??

Answer 2

so would it be 1/2x+2?

Answer 3

What you did in the first step??
Show me your work..

Answer 4

Im still not that sure on how to do it

Answer 5

See, first step to put the values in the given equaiton:

We have, x1 = 4, y1 = 2, m = 1/2

Put these in equation:

y - (2) = (1/2)*(x - 4)

And now solve this equation to the simplest form:
How can you do that??

By multiplying 2 both the sides,


2y - 4 = x - 4

Now solve and get the desired answer...

Answer 6

Okay then would it be -2y=3 im not sure if i solved it quite right..... umm if i did then its still not right because the answers i can get are

A = 1/2 x + 2
B. y = 1/2 x
C. y = 1/2 x + 4

I thought it was a, but now im not sure

Answer 7

See, slope intercept form is given by:
y = mx + c

So, try to reduce the equation I have solved above in this form:

2y = x

So, y = (1/2)*x

So, now what is the answer can you tell me??

Answer 8

y=1/2x??(:

Answer 9

Yes...

Answer 10

Okay thank you so much!!

Answer 11

Welcome dear..
