Chapter 8.5, Problem 3WE

To determine

To find: Theequation in slope intercept form of the given line.

Answer to Problem 3WE

The equation in slope intercept form of the given lineis $y=-\frac{1}{2}x+7$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The slope is $-\frac{1}{2}$ and y-intercept is $7$ .

Calculation:

The slope intercept form is,

  $y=mx+c$

Here, the slope is $m$ and $y$ intercept is $c$ .

Substitute the values in above equation.

  $y=-\frac{1}{2}x+7$
