Question

PLEASE HELP! I NEED TO DO THIS!! FOR 15 POINTS!!

Identify the slope and a point from the equation:


My Answer was X = (5, -7)
I think I'm wrong, please help!!

Answer 1

a)

Explanation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = ½

Point: (5,-7)

Answer 2

m = 1/2 point (5, -7)

Explanation:

The equation is in point slope from

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y+7 = 1/2(x-5)

Rewriting

y - -7 = 1/2 (x - 5)

We can see that 1/2 is the slope and (5, -7) is a point on the line
