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)

anonymous · Answer

y-y1 = M(x-x1)
m is the slope
plug the numbers into the equation

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\
&(1\quad ,&-4)
\end{array}
\\quad \

slope = m= \cfrac{1}{2}
\ \quad \

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\qquad \textit{plug in your values and solve for "y"}$
