Question

Write an equation in point -slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope

(-4,-2); m=-1/2

A. Y+2=-1/2(x-4)
B. Y+2=(-1/2)x-4
C. Y+2=-1/2(x+4)
D. Y-2=-1/2(x-4)

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=slope & (x1, y1) is a point on the line

m=-1/2

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

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