Question

Enter the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. Slope is − 1 /2 , and (−3, 4) is on the line. The equation of the line is y =

Answer 1

Answer:The equation of the line is;

Explanation:

Answer 2

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

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = -
`(1)/(2)`, thus

y = -
`(1)/(2)` x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 3, 4) into the partial equation

4 =
`(3)/(2)` + c ⇒ c = 4 -
`(3)/(2)` =
`(5)/(2)`

y = -
`(1)/(2)` x +
`(5)/(2)` ← equation of line
