Question

Use the point slope equation to identify the slope and the coordinates of a point on the line y=1/2(x-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y = $\frac{1}{2}$(x - 1) is in this form

with slope m = $\frac{1}{2}$

note left side of equation can be written as

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

the point on the line (a, b) = (1, 0)
