What is the equation in standard form of the line which passes through (−2, −3) and has a slope of one half?
2x + y = 4
2x − y = 4
x + 2y = 4
x − 2y = 4

help please

using point-slope formula...\[(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)\]where the values are\[m=\frac{1}{2}\]\[x_1=-2\]\[y_1=-3\]plug them in, and simplify in the form\[Ax+By+C=0\]this is the standard form of equation of a line....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so -2+-3+1/3=

no it's not... you plug-in the values in point-slope formula...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(y-(-3))=\frac{1}{2}(x-(-2))\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
all you have to do is simplify it to standard form...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok

thats funny
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x-y=4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
let us make it simple...
(y+3)=(1/2)(x+2)
2(y+3)=x+2.... by cross multiplying 2 in left hand side
2y+6=x+2... by distributive property
x-2y+2-6=0... transposing all in right hand side
x-2y-4=0.... the answer in standard form

im back
