Question

What is the slope and intercept of `y = 1/2x`?

Answer 1

The slope is `color(red)(m) = 1/2`

The y-intercept is `color(blue)(b) = 0` or (0, 0)

Explanation:

This equation is in the slope intercept form.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

`y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)`

Where `color(red)(m)` is the slope and `color(blue)(b)` is the y-intercept value.

For this equation:

`y = color(red)(1/2)x + color(blue)(0)`
