What is the slope of y=0.50x+5 and write a sentence to describe the meaning

5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 0.5x + 5

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Slope: 0.5

y-intercept: 5

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding values.

To find the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the x variable and solve for y.

y = 0.5(0) + 5

y = 5

To graph the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 1 for the x variable and solve for y.

y = 0.5(1) + 5

y = 5.5

Which means when x is 0, y intercept at 5 and when x is 1 y intercept at 5.5. Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.

This tells us, in practical terms, that, for every one unit that the x-variable increases (that is, moves over to the right), the y-variable increases (that is, goes up) by 50% of a unit.
