Chapter 1.4, Problem 14E

To determine

To find: line equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer to Problem 14E

  $y=-12x+\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Slope}\left(m\right)=-12\\ y\text{-}\mathrm{intercept}\left(b\right)=\frac{1}{2}\end{array}$

Calculation

The slope intercept form is as follows:

  $y=mx+b$

Substitute the value of m and b in the above equation and simply it as follows:

  $\begin{array}{l}y=\left(-12\right)x+\frac{1}{2}\\ y=-12x+\frac{1}{2}\end{array}$

Thus, the slope intercept form is of the line is $y=-12x+\frac{1}{2}$ .
