Question

Pre Calc: Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line passing through A(–2, 1) and having a slope of 0.5.

Answer 1

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

Answer 2

your slope (1/2) is m. so y = 1/2x + b

now plug in your x and y and solve for b

Answer 3

so it would be 1 = (1/2)(-2) + b

Answer 4

Ya that is one way u can do it...... @samalami
Or u can use direct point-slope formula.... that u know
