Question

The y-intercept of the line passing through (2, 5) with slope \(\frac{1}{2}\) is equal to

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4
• E. 5

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Given:

Point: \( (2,5) \)

Slope: \( m = \frac{1}{2} \) 

Using the slope-intercept form of a line:

\( y = mx + c \)

Substituting given values:

\( 5 = \frac{1}{2} (2) + c \)

\( 5 = 1 + c \)

\( c = 5 - 1 = 4 \)

Thus, the y-intercept is:

4
