Enter the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
 
Slope is 1/2,and (−5, 6) is on the line.
 
The equation of the line is y= _______

Respuesta :

Answer:

y=-1/2x+7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

we already know the slope of the line is -1/2

so right now it's: y=-1/2x+b (b is a placeholder for the y intercept)

however, we need the y intercept.

Find that by plugging in the point (-5,6)

6=-1/2(-5)+b

6=5/2+b

7/2=b

therefore the line should be y=-1/2x+7/2

Hope this helps!
