Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4, -9) and has a slope of 1/2​

Answer 1

The answer is y=1/2x-7

Explanation:

y-y=m(x-x¹)

y-(-9)=1/2(x-(-4)

y+9=1/2x+2

-9 -9

y=1/2x-7

Answer 2

Y = 1/2x + b
Plug in the point :)
-9 = 1/2(-4) + b
-9 = -2 + b
b = -7
Y = 1/2 -7
