The equation you're looking for is y-y1=m(x-x1). So you're slow is outside the parentheses, your x is inside, and your y is one the left side of the equal sign

To find the equation in point-slope form that passes through the point (4, -2) with a slope of $ \frac{1}{2} $, we use the point-slope formula:

$$ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) $$

Where $ (x_1, y_1) $ is the point (4, -2) and $ m $ is the slope $ \frac{1}{2} $.

Plugging in the values:

$$ y - (-2) = \frac{1}{2}(x - 4) $$

This simplifies to:

$$ y + 2 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 4) $$

Thus, the equation in point-slope form is:

C. $ y + 2 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 4) $

So, the correct answer is C.

way better thank you. I wasn't sure whether or not to add the y+y1 or to substract so this really helped. also i have a different problem that I need help with should I keep this post open or make a new one? also thank you again for the help
