Question

Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form if the slope is ½ and the y-intercept is -2.

Answer 1

Starting from scratch, I need some serious step by step on this. I'd really appreciate it! ^.^

Answer 2

Okay first of all the y-intercept is the y coordinate of the point where the line cuts the y axis
Do you know the x coordinate of this point?

Answer 3

Well, it didn't tell me what the x-coordinate was. :/

Answer 4

Okay tell you how to find that
Hold on ima get on my laptop bc i can't draw on mobile =)

Answer 5

Alrighty, thanks Qwert ^.^

I never knew you were a QH, but thats awesome!

Answer 6

Equation of a line in slope intercept form :-
\[\large \bf y=mx+b\]
where,
\[\large \bf m=slope\]
\[\large \bf b=y-intercept\]

Answer 7

\[\large \bf l_1~is~a~line\]

Answer 8

now,we have to find what is y intercept and x intercept of this line ?

Answer 9

y-intercept of a line means the line which crosses the y-axis i.e the point where it crosses the y axis is y-intercept of a line .
