Question

What equation represents a line with a slope -1/2 and passes through (-3,4)?
Standard Form Please

Answer 1

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
&({\color{red}{ -3}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 4}})\quad
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= -\cfrac{1}{2}
\\ \quad \\

y-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}={\color{green}{ m}}(x-{\color{red}{ x_1}})\qquad \textit{plug in the values and solve for "0"}\\
\qquad \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form} \)
