Question

Which is the equation of a line in point-slope form that passes through the point (2,5) and has a slope of

-1/2

A y+5=1/2(x+2)
B y-5= -1/2(x-2)
C y+5=-1/2(x+2)
D y-5=1/2(x-2)

Answer 1

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

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

slope(m)=-1/2

point(x1,y1)=(2,5)

now,

the equation of line in slope point form is given by-

y-y1=m(x-x1)

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