What is the slope intercept form of the line passing through #(-12,3) # with a slope of #1/2 #?

Answer 1

Isaiah Anthony

#y=1/2x+9#

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

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#

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

#"here "m=1/2#

#rArry=1/2x+blarrcolor(blue)"is the partial equation"#

#"to find b substitute "(-12,3)" into the partial equation"#

#3=-6+brArrb=3+6=9#

#rArry=1/2x+9larrcolor(red)"in slope-intercept form"#

The slope-intercept form of the line passing through the point (-12, 3) with a slope of 1/2 is: y = (1/2)x + 9

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.
