Answer 1

The equation of a line for the given slope is $y=\frac{1}{2} x+1$.

Solution:

Given data:

Slope (m) = $\frac{1}{2}$

Point = (–2, 0)

$x_1=-2, y_1=0$

To find the equation of the given line in the point-slope form:

Point-slope formula:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Substitute the given values in the formula.

$y-0=\frac{1}{2} (x-(-2))$

$y=\frac{1}{2} (x+2)$

$y=\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{2}{2}$

$y=\frac{1}{2} x+1$

The equation of a line for the given slope is $y=\frac{1}{2} x+1$.
