Question

Complete the slope.
help please!!!

Answer 1

Answer:
`y-6=-(1)/(2) (x+1)\\`

Explanation:

The formula for point-slope form is y-y₁=m(x-x₁).

Since we already have (x₁,y₁), all we need to do is find the slope with
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(5-6)/(1-(-1)) =(-1)/(2) =-(1)/(2)`

Now we can plug it into our equation.

`y-6=-(1)/(2) (x-(-1))\\`

`y-6=-(1)/(2) (x+1)\\`
