Write an equation of a line with the given slope and y-intercept (8,1)m=-1/2

1 answer:

5 0

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
first plug in m
y=-1/2X + b
now plug in the point (8,1) for the x and the y
1=-1/2(8) + b

now you need to solve for b
simplify
1=-4+ b
add 4
5=b

now that you know b
you can plug it into the equation along with the m

so the answer is
y=-1/2X + 5

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that this is a composition of functions. For instance, let's let $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ and $g(x)=7x^2+4x+1$ . Then, the given equation is essentially $f(g(x))=\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1}$ . Thus, we can use the chain rule.
