Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given point and having the given slope.

B(6, 2), m = -1/2

Answer 1

Equation of a line passing through point (x1, y1) with slope m is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = -1/2(x - 6)
2(y - 2) = -(x - 6)
2y - 4 = -x + 6
x + 2y = 6 + 4
x + 2y = 10
