Chapter 4, Problem 29SGR

To determine

To find the given equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer to Problem 29SGR

  $y=\frac{1}{2}x+5$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $y-4=\frac{1}{2}\left(x+2\right)$

Concept used:

Equation of a line with slope m and y intercept c is $y=mx+c$ .

Calculation:

  $\begin{array}{l}y-4=\frac{1}{2}\left(x+2\right)\\ \Rightarrow y-4=\frac{1}{2}x+1\\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}x+1+4\\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}x+5\end{array}$
