Question

Use the graph to find the slope and y-intercept to write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph shown is y = -1/2

x +-1 .

Step-by-step explanation:

did on edge

Answer 2

Answer:

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

$y\ intercept = -1$

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (-2,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (0,-1)$

Required

Determine the slope and y intercept from graph

To calculate the slope, we have:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

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

$m = \frac{-1}{0 +2}$

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

The y intercept is when $x = 0$

So,

$y\ intercept = -1$

The equation is then calculated using:

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

This gives

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

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

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

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

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