Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (1, −4) with a slope of one half . (1 point)

y − 4 = 1/2 (x − 1)

y + 4 = 2(x − 1)

y + 4 = 1/2 (x − 1)

y − 4 = 2(x + 1)

Answer 1

3rd one
Reason:
Point slope formula: y-y1=m(x-x1)
y1=-4
x1=1
m=1/2
Put it all together and you get a final answer of:
y-(-4)=1/2(x-1)
two negatives make one positive
so,
final answer:y+4=1/2(x-1)
