find a solution for this problem:
(2,4), 1/2 = y
I do not understand your notation. Are you looking for a function y(x) that goes through the point (x=2, y=4), and has slope 1/2?
Yes, I apologize for the confusion. If you are looking to find a function that passes through the point (2,4) and has a slope of 1/2, we can proceed as follows:
Step 1: Use the point-slope formula to find the equation of a line. The point-slope formula is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) represents the coordinates of the point and m represents the slope.
Using the coordinates (2,4) as (x1, y1) and the slope 1/2 as m, we have:
y - 4 = (1/2)(x - 2)
Step 2: Simplify the equation. Distribute the 1/2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
y - 4 = (1/2)x - 1
Step 3: Move the constant term to the other side to isolate y:
y = (1/2)x - 1 + 4
y = (1/2)x + 3
Therefore, the solution to the problem is the function y = (1/2)x + 3.
