Question

for each equation. part a - identify the y-intercept part b - identify the slope 1. 1a. $y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3$ 2. 1b $y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope-intercept form

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is $y=mx+b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

Step2: Match given equation to form

For $y=\frac{1}{2}x-3$, compare to $y=mx+b$.

Answer:

1a. The y-intercept is $-3$
1b. The slope is $\frac{1}{2}$
