first you know that b is 0 because y=1/2x is the same as y=1/2x+0. so look at the line- is the y intercept 0?

OpenStudy (lizz123):

y-intercept is not a zero 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup. basically she has the wrong equation. so what IS the y intercept?

OpenStudy (lizz123):

0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

err no look at the line, not the equation rayana has.

OpenStudy (lizz123):

1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the slope, not the y intercept.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at where the line crosses over the y axis.

OpenStudy (lizz123):

y=1/2x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

little farther. since the line crosses over the y axis at 4, the y intercept is 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the equation?

OpenStudy (lizz123):

ohh so y=1/2x+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah! you got it! :D

OpenStudy (lizz123):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problemo.
