Chapter 9.5, Problem 17IP

To determine

To state the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation.

Answer to Problem 17IP

The slope of the equation is $\frac{1}{2}$ and the y-intercept is $6$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given equation is:

  $\text{y}-6=\frac{1}{2}\text{x}$

Write the equation:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{y}-6=\frac{1}{2}\text{x }\left[\text{Adding both sides by 6}\right]\\ \text{y}=\frac{1}{2}\text{x}+6\left[\text{Write the equation in the form of y}=\text{mx}+\text{c}\right]\end{array}$

The slope of the equation is $\frac{1}{2}$ and the y-intercept is $6$ .
