well my question is what is this problem and how do i solve it

Question

Slope-1/2;y-intercept=-3

Answer 1

The problem should be:

What is the equation of the line whose slope is -1/2 and its y-intercept is -3?

Answer: The general equation for a line in slope-intercept form is: y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Hence the equation of the line that we are looking for is: y=(-1/2)x-3.

If additionally we were asked for x-intercept, then we put y=o or (-1/2)x-3=0. Then x=-6 is the x-intercept of the line.

Answer 2

The question is most likely what is the equation of a line with slope -1/2 and y-intercept -3.

The answers would be slope-intercept: y=-1/2x-3 ; a point slope solution: (y+4)=-1/2(x-2), and the standard form: -x+2y=-6.

Answer 3

Probably just write it as an equation:

y = (-1/2)x -3

and then graph it.
