Answer: point-slope form is [tex](y -y_{1} ) = m(x - x_{1} )[/tex]
9.5 -(-6) = 1/2(0-7)
Step-by-step explanation: You can get a y-intercept by substituting the x and y values from the given coordinate into the slope-intercept form and solve for b.
y = mx + b
-6 = 1/2(7) + b
-6 = 3.5 + b
-9.5 = b Slope-intercept equation for this question would be y = x/2 - 9.5
Then use the coordinates of the y-intercept to create the point-slope equation
(-9.5 -[-6]) = 1/2(0-7)
