Question

Write an equation of a line that passes through the
point (-4, 5) and have a slope of 1/2

Answer 1

Answer: y=1/2x+7



Step-by-step explanation:
Point-Slope= y-y1=m(x-x1)
Equation= y-5=1/2(x+4)
First, distribute 1/2 to each term in the parentheses, which is y-5=1/2x+2.
Next, add 5 to -5 to get y by itself and add 5 to 2. Your equation should now be y=1/2x+7.
