Answer:
y = 1/2x +6
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a point and a slope. Therefore we can use the point slope form to create a line
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-5 = 1/2(x--2)
y-5 = 1/2(x+2)
Distribute the 1/2
y-5 = 1/2x +1
Add 5 to each side
y-5+5 = 1/2x +1+5
y = 1/2x +6
This is in slope intercept form
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope
m= ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-5- -7.5)/ ( 2 - -3)
= (-5+7.5) / ( 2+3)
= 2.5 /5
=1/2
Then using the slope intercept equation of a line
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = 1/2x+b
Using a point from above
-5 = 1/2(2) +b
-5 =1+b
Subtract 1 from each side
-6 = b
We have the y intercept
y = 1/2x-6
Tahlia forget to find the y intercept for the equation
the easiest way I find a midpoint of two points is the midpoint theorem, here it is:
For x and y plug in the two coordinates given, (4,-4) & (0,8)
so once you plug the numbers into the equation you would get:
(2,2)
