Question

Input the equation of the given line in standard form the line with m=-1/2 and the point (-2,-3)

​

Answer 1

The equation would be x + 2y = -8

Explanation:

To find the standard form of this line, start by using point-slope form with the given information. Then solve for the constant.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

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

y + 3 = -1/2x - 1

1/2x + y + 3 = -1

1/2x + y = -4

x + 2y = -8
