Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `y=1/2x`?

Answer 1

Slope: `1/2color(white)("XXX")`y-intercept: `0`

Explanation:

The general slope-intercept form is
`color(white)("XXX")y=color(green)(n)x+color(blue)(b)`
with slope `color(green)(m)` and y-intercept `color(blue)(b)`

`y=1/2x`
and be written explicitly in slope intercept form as
`color(white)("XXX")y=color(green)(1/2)x+color(blue)(0)`
with slope `color(green)(1/2)` and y-intercept `color(blue)(0)`
