Question

Can someone help me with this problem?

My problem is attached

Answer 1

I believe its a.

Answer 2

\[m=\frac{y-y _{1}}{x-x _{1}}=\frac{4-0}{-6-2}=-\frac{1}{2}\]
Therefore the slope is -(1/2). Do you understand so far?

Answer 3

Yes it is a .....

equation...is \[Y-Y_{1} = M(X-X_{1})\]

Where M is slope.. M =\[\frac{ Y_{2}-Y_{1} }{X_{2}-X_{1} }\]
there fore M=\[\frac{ 0-4 }{2--6 }=\frac{ -4 }{2+6 }=\frac{ -4 }{8}=\frac{ -1 }{2 }\]
and substituting the point \[(X _{1},Y _{1})\] in the standard equation we get answer A

Answer 4

Thanks!
