Question

What is the point-slope form of a line that has a slope of 1/2 and passes through point (-7,2)

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

here m =
`(1)/(2)` and (a, b) = (- 7, 2), thus

y - 2 =
`(1)/(2)`(x + 7) ← in point- slope form
