Question

What is the slope (m) of the line listed below?

Answer 1

We have the following equation:

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

And we have to determine the slope of the line.

1. To determine that we need to remember that we have here the equation of a line in slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

Where:

• m is the slope of the line

• b is the y-intercept of the line

2. Therefore, since we have:

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

Then the slope of the line is m = 1/2.

Therefore, in summary, we have that the slope of the line is:

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