Question

Write the equation of the line passing through the point (4, -6) with a slope of 1/2?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that , the equation of line when the slope and the coordinates are given is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where x1 = 4 , y1 = -6 and m = 1/2

therefore, y -(-6) = 1/2(x - 4)

y + 6 = x/2 - 2

6+2 = x/2 - y

8 = x - 2y/2

16 = x - 2y

required equation : x-2y-16=0
