Question

How do you find the slope and y-intercept for the line `y=1/2x+6`?

Answer 1

The slope is `1/2` and the `y`-intercept is `6`.

Explanation:

You can actually plug this equation into a graphing calculator and you will find that each `y` value will be `1/2` the `x` value plus `6`.

The `y`-intercept simply means the value of `y` when `x=0`.
