Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (2, -4) with a slope of 1/2.

y = 1/2x + 5

y = 1/2x - 3

y = 1/2x - 5

y = 1/2x + 3

Answer 1

Well you know the m or slope, so now put it into the y = mx +b form and tell me what you get.

Answer 2

Do you understand?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Alright, so now remember that (2,-4) is related to the (x,y) coordinates. Using that knowledge, we should be able to find the B, correct?

Answer 5

@JohnHanShanghai I did not know we could just give the answers.
