Question

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

Answer 1

Use point-slope formula:\[y-y _{0}=m(x-x _{0})\]

So, y - (-4) = 1/2 (x - 1)

If you want it in the form y=mx+b, then just solve solve y.

y + 4 = 1/2x - 1/2

y = 1/2x - 9/2

Answer 2

To check your answer, insert the given (x,y) values are confirm the equation.
