Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:
`-(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

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

Write as slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

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

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

Therefore, the slope is
`-(1)/(2)`.
