Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be D. We can continue the line from the point (-2,8) because we know the slope so we will continue it forward by two on the x axis. Since we go forward by two we are going up by 24 (12*2) on the y axis so the y intercept (b) would be 8 + 24 which is 32. Sorry if it is hard to understand.

Find the Equation of the line

romanna [79]

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark any two point on the line

(-1 , 0) & (-3 , -1)

Slope = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\$

$= \frac{-1-0}{-3-[-1]}\\\\= \frac{-1}{-3+1}\\\\= \frac{-1}{-2}\\\\= \frac{1}{2}$

m = 1/2 ; (-1 , 0)

Equation: $y - y_{1} =m(x -x_{1})$

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