Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! Explain your answer, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Standard equation in point slope form is :

y-y_0 = m(x-x_0) +c

where m = slope = -1/2

(x_0,y_0) is the point from which the lines passes through = (5,-3)

We get the equation as,

y-(-3) = -1/2(x-5)

y+3 =
`(-1)/(2)`(x-5)

y =
`(-1)/(2) x+(5)/(2)-3`

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

Hence, m= -1/2 and c = -1/2

Required equations is:

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