I don't know the answer.

Question

A line is drawn on the coordinate plane that passes through the point (10,1) and has a slope of -0.5. The y-intercept of the line is 

Answer 1

WE use slope -point equation of line: y - 1 = - 0.5(x - 10); so y = - 0.5x + 6.

If x = 0then y = 6;

(0,6) is y-intercept

Answer 2

Given point: (10, 1) and the slope is -0.5.

We will plug those values in the point-slope form and convert it into slope-intercept form.

y - y₀ = m(x - x₀) → y = mx + b

y - 1 = -0.5(x - 10)

y - 1 = -0.5x + 5

y = -0.5x + 6

The y-intercept of the line is @ (0, 6) where b = 6.
