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)

nnesha · Answer

point slope is 
$$y-y _{1} = m(x-x _{1})$$

nnesha · Answer

replace m by 1/2 
and replace y1 and x1 by this order pair (1 , -4)

godlovesme · Answer

y1 and x1 is like the one we did in the previous m is slope

anonymous · Answer

y - 4 = 1/2 x - 1 ? I plugged them in , Is that correct?

nnesha · Answer

well noep

nnesha · Answer

there is negative sign in the formula and your y is also negative

godlovesme · Answer

y- -4 =? @FEARLESS_JOCEY

anonymous · Answer

Oh, so it's supposed to be a positive 4 not a negative right?
