Question

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

Answer 1

-1/2

Explanation:

This is because when the equation is simplified into slope intercept form (y=mx+b) the -1/2 sits in the place of m (m=slope).

Answer 2

-1/2 because in point slope form y-y1=m(x-x1) m is the variable for the slope.
