Verified Answer :

y - 8 = (1/2)(x - 4)

y - 8 = 0.5x - 0.54

y - 8  = 0.5x - 2

y = 0.5x - 2 + 8

y = 0.5x + 6    is the linear function.

Answer:

\(y=\frac{1}{2}x+6\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

\(y-y1=m(x-x1)\)

In this problem we have

\(y-8=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)\)

The linear function represent a line that

the slope is equal to \(m=\frac{1}{2}\)

and passes through the point \((4,8)\)

Simplify

\(y=\frac{1}{2}x-2+8\)

\(y=\frac{1}{2}x+6\) ------> equation of the line in slope-intercept form
