Answer:
Here we have a weird Y intercept, no exact numbers.
So we have to find the equation of this line in the format of y=mx+b
Where
M is slope
B is y-intercept.
There are 2 ways to solve this, I’ll show you the most basic and school approved method.
The point slope formula
So point slope goes by
y-y1 = m (x - x1)
x1 and y1 represents as coordinate on the line.
M is slope
Let’s make x1 and y1 into (1,1) since its a point on the line.
Now we need to find slope.
The slope os calculated by doing
y2-y1 / x2- x1
So lets find another point.
Let’s make x2,y2 into (3,2)
So let’s find the slope.
2-1 / 3-1
1/2
Slope is 1/2
Now we plug everything into the equation.
y- 1 = 1/2 ( x- 1)
Now simplify and you should end up with the slope intercept form.
Y- 1 = 1/2x + 1/ 2
y= 1/2x + 1 1/2
Your answer is
Y= 1/2x + 1.5 or 1 1/2
