A line passes through the point (-3, -3) and has a slope of 1/2. What is the equation of the line?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not a clue. Lol

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Here is a clue: the equation of a line is y = mx + b, have you seen that form of equation before?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of course I have. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be in Algebra 2.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

What does "m" represent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The slope...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"b" is the y-intercept. Any other questions? Or can you help me instead?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

I am helping you understand what the question is asking for. In the equation form y = mx +b substitute the given information.
