Question

Name the slop and one point that is on the line represented by the equation: y + 3 = -1/2(x +7)

Answer 1

The slope is -1/2 and a point on the line is ( -7,-3)

Explanation:

y + 3 = -1/2(x +7)

This is in point slope form

y - y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and ( x1,y1) is a point on the line

y - -3 = -1/2(x - -7)

The slope is -1/2 and a point on the line is ( -7,-3)
