You observe that the line shown below passes through the point (0,4) and has a slope of 1/2. You choose (x,y) as an arbitrary point on the line other than (0,4) and use the fact that the slope of a line is constant to write which equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. $\frac{y-4}{x-0}=\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is $\frac{1}{2}$

The point (x,y) is an arbitrary point on this line.

Also the point (0,4) is on this line.

Using the slope formula:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=m$

We substitute the points (0,4) and the arbitrary point (x,y);

$\frac{y-4}{x-0}=\frac{1}{2}$

The correct answer is option A
