Help please....
Identify the slope and y-intercept of each equation. Then graph. Y = ½x - 4

\[y=mx+b\] slope is \(m\) y intercept is \(b\)
OpenStudy (misty1212):
you have
\[y=\frac{1}{2}x-4\] so \(m=?\)

@misty1212
OpenStudy (misty1212):
lol no dear there is nothing to solve
look with your eyes and see what \(m\)
just read it is all
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[\huge y = \color{red}mx+\color{green}b\]
\[\huge y=\color{red}{\frac{1}{2}}x+\color{green}{-4}\]

so \(\color{red}m=\color{red}?\)
OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):
I get it.
OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):
1/2

OpenStudy (misty1212):
yes that is the slope

how about the y intercept \(\color{green}b\)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The equation is \(y = mx + b\), where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok, you have your slope, so what is the y-intercept? @Cicilybailey14
OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):
-4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes!!!!!

Great job!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I thought you were gonna say 4, which is incorrect, but there was a minus sign, so it's -4. :P
OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):
Awesome so my over all answer would be ... 1/2 and -4 but than I have to graph? @AnswerMyQuestions
