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 \(b\)
you have \[y=\frac{1}{2}x-4\] so \(m=?\)
@misty1212
lol no dear there is nothing to solve look with your eyes and see what \(m\) just read it is all
\[\huge y = \color{red}mx+\color{green}b\] \[\huge y=\color{red}{\frac{1}{2}}x+\color{green}{-4}\]
so \(\color{red}m=\color{red}?\)
I get it.
1/2
@misty1212
yes that is the slope
how about the y intercept \(\color{green}b\)?
The equation is \(y = mx + b\), where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
Ok, you have your slope, so what is the y-intercept? @Cicilybailey14
-4?
Yes!!!!!
Great job!!
I thought you were gonna say 4, which is incorrect, but there was a minus sign, so it's -4. :P
Awesome so my over all answer would be ... 1/2 and -4 but than I have to graph? @AnswerMyQuestions
