How do you find the slope & y-intercept of the equation #y = 5 – 1/2x#?

Answer 1

Isaiah Anthony

#"slope "=-1/2," y-intercept "=5#

#"the slope-intercept form of a line in "color(blue)" is"#.

# •color(white)(x)y=mx + b#

# "where m is the slope and b the y-intercept" #

This format is "#y=5-1/2x" or "y=-1/2x+5".

#"with y-intercept "=5#" and slope "=-1/2"

To find the slope of the equation y = 5 - 1/2x, you identify the coefficient of x, which is -1/2. Therefore, the slope is -1/2. To find the y-intercept, you look at the constant term, which is 5. Hence, the y-intercept is 5.

Answer from HIX Tutor

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
