Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope intercept form of an equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
Since the slope is (1/2), we can write:
y = (1/2)x + b
We want a value of b such that it forces the line to go through point (-10,9). Enter that point in the equation and solve for b:
y = (1/2)x + b
9 = (1/2)*(-10) + b
9 = -5 + b
b = 14
The eqyuation of a line with a slope of (1/2) and goes through point (-10,9) is:
y = (1/2)x + 14
