Question

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

Answer 1

`y=0.5x-3`

Explanation:

Given the following question:

Point A = (-4, -5) = (x, y)

`m=(1)/(2) =0.5`

To find the slope intercept form of the given information we will have to use the formula y = mx + b where m equals the slope.


`y=mx+b`

`-5=0.5(-4)+b`

`0.5*-4=-2`

`-5=-2+b`

`-2+2=0`

`-5+2=-3`

`b=-3`

`y=0.5x-3`

Which means your answer is "y = 0.5x - 3."

Hope this helps.
