Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,-2) and has a

slope of - 1/2

Answer 1

Y=-1/2x-2
The equation is Y=mx+b
M is the slope
And b is the y intercept
So putting that together would give you y=-1/2x-2

Answer 2

The equation is y=-1/2x-4

Explanation:

(-4,-2) m=-1/2

y=mx+b

y=-1/2x+b

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

-2=2+b

-2 -2

-4=b
