Question

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (2-5) and has a gradient of -1/2

Leave your answer in the formy=mx+C

Answer 1

y = -1/2x - 4

Explanation:

Put in the formula y=mx+c the slope and the point (2,-5)

-5= -1/2(2) + c

Find C to get the y value of the line

-5 = -1 + c

c= -4

Now fill the formula with the values you found

y = -1/2x - 4

m= -1/2

c= -4
