Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

You have to use point-slope point form. Are you familiar with that?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

Okay well point slope form is : y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

Answer 4

I still don't understand what to do

Answer 5

The problem gives you a coordinate point- "( 1 , -4 )" So you will plug this point into the equation (the point slope form) by labeling x (which is 1) and y (which is 4) as "x1" and "y1".

Answer 6

So when you plug in 1 and negative four you should get :

Answer 7

The slope intercept form is
y = mx + b, where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.

Look at the 4 choices.
Two of them have some expression for y involving 2x. Those two choices can be eliminated since you need to have (1/2)x, not 2x as your slope is 1/2 not 2.

Now plug in (1, -4) into the other two choices and see which one works.

Answer 8

I am sorry, the numbers 1 and negative four should be switched.

Answer 9

Would it be the third option?

Answer 10

I believe so, yes.

Answer 11

Correct.

Answer 12

Thanks :)

Answer 13

I would also give you a medal @anne1244 if I could :( sorry

Answer 14

Oh well I'm still pretty new to this website so I'm not sure as to what a medal is but thank you.
