Question

Y-5=-1/2(x+7) (find the slope)

Answer 1

Point slope form

y -y1 = m(x - x1) where m = slope

In this case y - 5 = -1/2(x+7) , slope m = -1/2

Answer

Slope = -1/2

Answer 2

It's the slope-point formula:

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

We have:

`y-5=-(1)/(2)(x+7)`

Therefore, the slope
`m=-(1)/(2)`
