A line has a slope of 1/2 and passes through the point (10, 2). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

Slope-intercept general form: y = mx + b

m = 1/2, x = 10, y = 2, solve for b.

2 = 1/2 (10) + b

2 = 5 + b

-5 -5

-3 = b

TMT (This means that), slope intercept equation of a line with slope 1/2 passing through the point (10, 2) is

y = (1/2)x + (-3) or y = (1/2)x - 3
