Question

Write the equation of a line with a point at `(-3,2)` and has a slope of `\frac{1}{2}`.

Answer 1

y = (1/2)x + 7/2

Explanation:

y = ax + b (general form of a linear function)

a = 1/2 (slope)

y = (1/2)x + b

(-3, 2) is on the line, 2 = (1/2)*(-3) + b

2 = -3/2 + b

b = 2 + 3/2

b = 7/2

equation: y = (1/2)x + 7/2
