Answer 1

@Pixel what is the general formula for the slope intercept form of a line?

Answer 2

y=mx+b

Answer 3

@Hero

Answer 4

Good. So what does b represent?

Answer 5

y-intercept

Answer 6

And what is the y-intercept? Do you know?

Answer 7

You should be able to tell by looking at the graph.

Answer 8

y=1

Answer 9

Very good. So now all you have to do is find the slope.

Answer 10

Remember m = slope = rise/run

Answer 11

0,1
2,0
(-1,2)

Answer 12

-1/2*

Answer 13

You posted quite a bit there. Let me ask again. What is the slope of the line?

Answer 14

Negative One Half

Answer 15

Very good. That is correct. So now, what is the equation of the line in point-slope form?

Answer 16

f(x)=-1/2x+1

Answer 17

@Hero

Answer 18

I'd write it this way just to be safe \(y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x + 1\) or if you want to write it horizontally, use parentheses y = -(1/2)x + 1
