Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given point and having the given slope.. . B(6, 2), m = -1/2

Answer 1

General form of Equation of straight line is:
y=m x + b
m=-1/2 passing through (6,2)
plug these values in general form,we get
2=-1/2(6)+b
2=-3+b
5=b
Hence,
y=(-1/2)x + 5
Rewriting to make it in General form:
-1/2 x + y - 5 = 0
