Question

What is the answer to this

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Since the coordinates are (x,y) , x is -2 and y is -4. Substitute and try solving. Since the slope is 1/2, we can rule out the first one.

-4=1/2(-2)-3

-4=-1-3

-4=-4

Answer 2

y = 1/2x -3

Explanation:

We can use the slope intercept form the equation for a line

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1/2x +b

Substitute the point into the equation

-4 = 1/2(-2) +b

-4 = -1+b

Add 1 to each side

-4 +1 = -1 +1+b

-3 = b

Writing the equation

y = 1/2x -3
