Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given point and having the given slope. B(6, 2), m = -1/2

Answer 1

standard form of a straight line is \[y=mx+c\]
from the given information you can find m,c

the slope is represented by m. thus m=-1/2

then,
\[y=\frac{-1}{2}x+c\]
since the line goes through point B the point satisfies the equation,

\[2=\frac{-1}{2}6+c\] find c from this
\[c=5\]
line will be \[y=\frac{-1}{2}x+5\]
