Question

What is the slope intercept form of (-4,-5); and slope 1/2

Answer 1

Lets first put all the known information into the point-slope form:

`y-y_(0) =m(x-x_(0) )`

• 
  `(x_(0),y_(0) ) = (-4,-5)`
• m (slope) : 1/2

`(y+5)=(1)/(2)(x+4) \\y + 4 = (1)/(2) x+2\\`

To put it into slope-intercept form, we must solve for y:

`y = (1)/(2) x -2`

Hope that helps!
