Question

Line l with a slope of 1/2 passes through (0,1/4) and (2,y), what is the value of Y

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of $y = \frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

given slope= $\frac{1}{2}$

the the points $(0, \frac{1}{4} )$ and (2, y)  $(0, \frac{1}{4} )$

now, the slope of $(0, \frac{1}{4} )$ and (2, y) are equal to $\frac{1}{2}$

so     $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{\frac{1}{4}-y }{0-2}$

         $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{\frac{1}{4}-y }{-2}$  cross multiplication, we get

$y = \frac{5}{4}$

therefore the value of $y = \frac{5}{4}$
