Question

Write an equation in point-slope form that has a slope of 1/2 and goes through the point (-3, -5). a y - 3 = 1/2(x - 5) b y + 5 = 1/2(x + 3) c y - 5 = 1/2(x - 3) d y + 3 = 1/2(x + 5)

Answer 1

b. y + 5 = 1/2(x + 3).

Explanation:

The general point-slope form is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1) so here we have:

y - (-5)) = 1/2(x - (-3))

y + 5 = 1/2(x + 3).
