Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The point slope form of the equation is expressed as
y - 7/2 = 1/2(x - 4)
Comparing with the point slope form of an equation which is expressed as
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m represents slope
Therefore
m = 1/2
y1 = 7/2
x1 = 4
The slope intercept form of the equation of a straight line is expressed as
y = mx + c
Where c represents the intercept
Substituting y = 7/2, m = 1/2 and x = 4 into y = mx + c, it becomes
7/2 = 1/2 × 4 + c
7/2 = 2 + c
c = 2 - 7/2 = (4 - 7)/2 = - 3/2
Therefore, the y intercept is - 3/2
