Question

Write a linear equation for slope and order pair below. Make sure your equation is in slope intercept form.

slope=-1/2

(-10,3)



( I don't understand this, I need help.)​

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

So they give us the a point and a slope

We can use point slope formula to find our equation in slope-intercept

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Let's put it all together!

`y-3=(-1)/(2) (x+10)`

Let's distribute our right side to make things neater

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

Now all we have to do is solve for y

We can do this by adding 3 to both sides

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

Hope I could help!
