Question

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

y – 4 = 1/2(x – 1)
y + 4 = 2(x – 1)
y + 4 = 1/2(x – 1)
y – 4 = 2(x + 1)

Answer 1

x-coordiate = 1, thus (x-1). Discard #4
y-coordiante = -4, thus (y+4). Discard #1
Slope = ½. Discard #2

Just a piece at a time.

Answer 2

Thanks! :)
