The graph of the linear function passes through the point B (1; 0.5) Find the number k if the function has the form: f (x) = kx + 1.

Substitute the value of the coordinates at point B and get:

Our function has a general form – f (x).

f (x) = kx + 1 is the general equation of the straight line, where k is the coefficient of the straight line, which indicates the angle of inclination of the straight line.

0.5 = k * 1 + 1

-0.5 = k * 1.

k = -0.5.

The answer is k = -0.5.
