The equation that can be used to identify the y-intercept of the linear function is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is y = mx + b. In this case, m = 1/2 and we already know one point on the line (-4,3).
Plugging in the values of the slope, x, and y into the equation, we get:
3 = 1/2(-4) + b
3 = -2 + b
b = 5
Therefore, the y-intercept of the linear function would be at y = 5.
The equation of a linear function that passes through the point, (-4,3) and has a slope of 1/2 can be written in point-slope form as y-3=1/2(x+4).
Which equation can be used to BEST identify the y-intercept of the linear function?
