Question

Which equation represents a line that passes through (5, 1) and has a slope of StartFraction one-half EndFraction?

Answer 1

There are two ways you can approach this.

1. Plug the values into point-slope form and solve for y. (Most people prefer this)

2. Plug the slope into y=mx+b, as m=slope. Then plug in the point (x,y) as x and y. Then solve for b. That is your b value, and you already have your line.

I probably have an unpopular opinion, but I always liked the second method more.

Answer 2

i like the second method better as well lol, thanks
