Question

What is the slope of the line with equation y-3=-1/2(x-2)?
0 -2
0 -1/2
0 1/2
0 2

Answer 1

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

we add three to both sides on the equation and get y= -1/2x + 4 or since this is in point slope format y-y1=m/(x-x₁)

we can see that the slope is -1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the given equation y - 3 = -(1/2)(x - 2) to the point-slope formula

                                                y - k = m(x - h).

It is immmedately clear that k = 3, m = -1/2 and h = 2.

To answer this question:  the slope of the given line is -1/2.
