Question

What's the equation that represents the line passing through the point (2, -4) with a slope of one half

Answer 1

eq of line passing through(a,b) and having slope m is given by
(y-b)=m(x-a)

Answer 2

here m=1/2 and (a,b)--> (2,-4)

Answer 3

thus we hv
(y+4)=1/2 * (x-2)

Answer 4

once you solve for the intercept you can convert it to look like y=mx+b format where m=slope and b=y-intercept
