Question

Y = 1/2x - 4 Slope: X-intercept: Y-intercept:​

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = $\frac{1}{2}$ , X-intercept = 8 , Y-intercept  = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

the following equation is given in slope intercept form which is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

since m = $\frac{1}{2}$ and b = -4, we can say our slope is $\frac{1}{2}$ and y intercept is -4.

Recall that x intercept occurs when y = 0 so plug y = 0 in the equation then solve for x

0 = $\frac{1}{2}$x - 4

add 4 to both sides,

4 = $\frac{1}{2}$x

multiply by 2 on both sides,

4*2 = x

8 = x

x = 8

so our x-intercept is 8
