Question

Slope -1/2, point (-4,-3) in slope int form

Answer 1

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

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)`

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

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

- 3 = 2 + c ⇒ c = - 3 - 2 = - 5

y = -
`(1)/(2)` x - 5 ← in slope-intercept form
