Chapter 8.4, Problem 3OE

To determine

To find: Slope and y-intercept of each line.

Answer to Problem 3OE

The slope of give line is $\frac{1}{2}$ and y-intercept is $4$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

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

Formula used:

Slope-intercept line: $y=mx+c$ .

Where m is slope of line, and c is y-intercept of line.

  $y=\frac{1}{2}x+4$

Recall Slope-intercept line: $y=mx+c$ .

Where m is slope of line, and c is y-intercept of line.

By comparing, we get

  $\begin{array}{l}m=\frac{1}{2}\\ c=4\end{array}$

The slope of give line is $\frac{1}{2}$ and y-intercept is $4$ .
