Question

A straight has slope equals to ½ and y-intercept equals to -5. What’s the equation for this straight line?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = ½x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Slope, m = ½

Intercept, c = -5

To write the equation of straight line;

Equation of straight line is y = mx + c

Where;

m is the slope.

x and y are the points

c is the intercept.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

y = ½x + (-5)

y = ½x - 5

$y = \frac {1}{2}x - 5$
