Question

write an equation in slope form for the given line through the given point with the given slope.
(-5,6); m=0.5

Answer 1

Use the form y = mx + b
y = 0.5x + b
Just plug in the point.
6 = 0.5(-5) + b
6 = -2.5 + b
b = 8.5
Then plug it back in.
y = 0.5x + 8.5

Answer 2

A. y+5=0.5 (x-6)
B. y+6=0.5 (x-5)
C. y+6=0.5 (x+5)
D. y-6=0.5 (x+5)

Answer 3

It would be D.
I thought you meant slope-intercept form. This is point-slope form which is:
\[y - y _{1} = m(x - x _{1})\]

thank you so much
