Question

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that: has a slope of m=1/2 and goes through the point (2, -3) please help.

Answer 1

`y =(1)/(2)x -4`

Explanation:

m = (1/2) ; (2 , -3)

y -y1 = m(x - x1)

`y - [-3] = (1)/(2)(x - 2)\\\\y + 3 = (1)/(2)x - 2 *(1)/(2)\\\\y + 3 = (1)/(2)x -1\\\\y = (1)/(2)x - 1 - 3\\y =(1)/(2)x -4`
