How do you write the equation in point slope form given m=1/2; C(0,0)?

1 Answer

May 12, 2016

#y=1/2x#
.....or more explicitly: #(y-0)=1/2(x-0)#

Explanation:

The generalized slope-point form for a line with slope #color(green)(m)# through a point #(color(red)(a),color(blue)(b))# is
#color(white)("XXX")y-color(blue)(b)=color(green)(m)(x-color(red)(a))#
