What is the slope intercept form of the line with a slope of #-1/2 # and y-intercept of # 0 #?

Answer 1

Isaiah Anthony

#y = -1/2x + 0 " (the +0 can be left out)"#

This just involves a direct substitution of the given values into the standard form # y = mx + c#

In this, #m# is the slope and #c# is the y-intercept.

So for m = #-1/2 and c= 0#

#y = -1/2x +0#

The slope-intercept form of a line is ( y = mx + b ), where ( m ) is the slope and ( b ) is the y-intercept.

Given the slope ( m = -\frac{1}{2} ) and the y-intercept ( b = 0 ):

The equation in slope-intercept form is ( y = -\frac{1}{2}x ).

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.
