Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given point and having the given slope.

B(6, 2), m = -1/2

Answer 1

since you have a point, and the slope of a line, you can use point-slope formula, which is:
\[(y-y _{1})=m(x-x _{1})\]
your x1 and y1 are the given point, and the m is the slope
simply insert your numbers
\[y-2=(-1/2)(x-6)\]
you may want your answer in y=mx+b form so all you do is solve for y
distribute the (-1/2)
\[y-2=(-1/2x)+3\]
then just add 2 to both sides
y=(-1/2x)+5

Answer 2

thats not right

Answer 3

its supossed to be like this _+__________

Answer 4

oh sorry, you said standard form.
all you have to do is gat both x and y on the same side, so from
y=(-1/2x)+5
just add (-1/2x) to both sides
and your answer should be
1/2x+y=5

Answer 5

so..5+1/2=y

Answer 6

lol what jolly

Answer 7

in standard form for a line, your equation should look like Ax+By=C
so it would be 1/2x+y=5

Answer 8

haha, they just dont let you put in fractions... so

Answer 9

what did u get for #12 jolly?

Answer 10

but cant u put 1(division sign)2

Answer 11

does it work?

Answer 12

idunno .-.

Answer 13

oh, then it may be (.5)x+y=5

Answer 14

no "."'s either

Answer 15

then you could multiply the whole equation by (2)
(2)(1/2x+y=5)
and you get
x+2y=10

Answer 16

could you elmininate the fraction and make it x+y = 10?

Answer 17

eliminate*

Answer 18

just kidding:) i'm wrong.

Answer 19

since you are eliminating a fraction from a term, remember to multiply every term, so that you have (y)(2)
