Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
slope=1/2 and the y intercept is (0,6)

Walk me through this please!!

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form is: \( y=mx+b\),
where \(m\) is the slope. So \(m=\frac{1}{2}\). We also have a point \((0,6)\).
This point is your x-intercept and y-intercept. \(x=0\) and \(y=6\)

So we have \(y\), \(x\), and \(m\), but we don't have the \(b\).

Plug in what's given to the slope-intercept form to solve for \(b\).
\( y=mx+b\)
\(6=(\frac{1}{2})(0)+b\)
\(b=6\).

Answer 2

y = 1/2 + 6?? or do I incorporate the 0

Answer 3

We already have the things we need, so we should now write it in \({slope-intercept form\).

\(\huge m=\frac {1}{2}\) and \(\huge b=6\).




\(\huge y=mx+b\)

\(\huge y=\frac {1}{2}x+6\)

Answer 4

ahhh okay I see, that's what I thought I was just unsure if I add in the 0 or not. Can you please help me on another equation? I'm having trouble on the placements
