Question

What is the equation in standard form of the line which passes through (-2, -3) and has a slope of 1/2?
Answer

2x + y = 4

2x - y = 4

x + 2y = 4

x - 2y = 4

Answer 1

Answer is either B or D

Answer 2

I'd use point-slope form first...\[\rm y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\]then convert into standard form.

Answer 3

Substituting the information,\[\rm y - (-3) = 0.5(x - (-2))\]or\[\rm y + 3 = 0.5(x + 2)\]

Answer 4

:) Correct

Answer 5

Multiply both sides by 2.\[\rm 2y + 6 = x + 2\]

Answer 6

Yup :D

Answer 7

Now bring the variables on the left side and the constants on the right.

Answer 8

So far so good
