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 is either B or D

parthkohli · Answer

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

parthkohli · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

:) Correct

parthkohli · Answer

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

parthkohli · Answer

Yup :D

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