Question

Find the equation of a line w/a slope of 1/2 passing through (-4, 2). Do I use y=mx+b?

Answer 1

slope =1/2
point=(-4,2)

Answer 2

yess u use y?mx+b just put x and y on equation...

Answer 3

use point slope

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

and then find b...
2 = 1/2 * -4 + b

Answer 6

point slope is easier. Then you don't have to solve for b and re plug it in, you can solve it in one step.

Answer 7

ahh malevolence is right ^^
