Question

A line passes through the point ( -10, 4) and has a slope of 1/2

Write an equation in point slope form for this line,

Answer 1

`y-4=(1)/(2) (x+10)`

Explanation:

Point-slope form:
`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)` when the given point is
`(x_1,y_1)` and the slope is
`m`

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

Plug in the point (-10,4)

`y-4=m(x-(-10))`

Two negatives make a positive

`y-4=m(x+10)`

Plug in the slope

`y-4=(1)/(2) (x+10)`

I hope this helps!
