Question

Which linear function represents the line given by the point-slope equation y - 8 = 1/2 (x-4)

Answer 1

$answer \: is \: option \: a$

We know that the equation of the line in point slope form is equal to

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 ).

In this problem we have

$y - 8 = \frac{1}{2} (x - 4)$

The slope is equal to m = 2 and passes through the point ( 4,8)

$y = \frac{1}{2} x + 6$------> equation of the line in the slope - intercept form
