Question

MEDAL ALERT!

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (1, -4) with a slope of one half.

y - 4 = one half(x - 1)

y + 4 = 2(x - 1)

y + 4 = one half(x - 1)

y - 4 = 2(x + 1)

Answer 1

use this formula : y - y1 = m(x - x1)
(1,-4) x1 = 1 and y1 = -4
slope(m) = 1/2
now just sub your info into the formula
y - (-4) = 1/2(x - 1)
y + 4 = 1/2(x - 1) --> your answer
any questions ?

Answer 2

So, what is the base formula I'd need to remember for other similar questions?

Answer 3

@kelliegirl33

Answer 4

y-y1=m(x-x1)
m= slope
and (x1,y1) is the point through which line is passing

Answer 5

Thanks a bunch!
