There is a line whose y-intercept is -6 and whose slope is -1/2?What is its equation in slope-intercept form?Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in the simplest form.

Respuesta :

Answer:

y=(-1/2)x-6

Explanation:

Given a line with the following properties:

• Slope = -1/2

,

• y-intercept = -6

We find the equation of the line using the slope-intercept form:

[tex]y=mx+b\text{ where}\begin{cases}m=\text{Slope} \\ b=y-\text{intercept}\end{cases}[/tex]

Substitute the given values:

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{2}x-6[/tex]

The equation of the line is y=(-1/2)x-6.
