Question

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the line!

Answer 1

Slope of the line = $\frac{1}{2}$.

y-intercept of the line = -7.

Solution:

General form of equation of a line:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.

Equation of a line:

$y=\frac{1}{2} x-7$

To compare this with general equation.

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

$c=-7$

Slope of the line = $\frac{1}{2}$.

y-intercept of the line = -7.
