Write the equation of the line that has the indicated slope and contains the indicated point. Express the final equation in standard form. m = 1/2 , (3, 8)

Answer 1

Equation of line: y = mx +c

m = 1/2

y = (1/2)x +c ..........eq 1

Thru (3, 8)

Substitue in eq1 for (x, y) = (3,8)

8 = (1/2)3 +c

c = 8 - 3/2 = 13/2

equation of line is

y=(1/2)x + 13/2

2y =x +13

Answer 2

B = y - mx

= 8 - (1/2)(3)

= 8 - 3/2

= 16/2 - 3/2

= 13/2

y = (1/2)x + 13/2

standard form:

2y = x + 13

-x + 2y = 13
