Question

Write y+4=−1/2(x−2) in slope intercept form .

Answer 1

y = -
`(1)/(2)` x - 3

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

y + 4 = -
`(1)/(2)` (x - 2) ← distribute

y + 4 = -
`(1)/(2)` x + 1 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = -
`(1)/(2)` x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form
