Question

find the equation of the line with a slope of -1/2 and passing through the point (2,3)

Answer 1

Answer: y=-1/2x+4

Step-by-step explanation: slope = -1/2 so m= -1/2. Plug in -1/2 for m in the equation y=Mx+b. y=-1/2x+b. Plug in 2 for x and 3 for y to find b. 3=-1/2(2) + b. 3=-1+b so b=4.

Answer 2

Answer: Here is your equation :)

Point-Slope form: y − 3 = − 1/2 ⋅ (x − 2)

Slope-Intercept form: y = − 1/2x + 4

,  Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!!
