Question

Find the equation of the line described. Write the equation in slope-intercept form, if possibl. Graph the line. Contains (-2,3) with slope= 1/2

Answer 1

Hi Tyler,

 

When given a slope and a point, we need to begin with the point-slope form.

 

y-y₁ = m (x-x₁)

 

y-3 = (1/2)[x-(-2)]

y-3 = (1/2)[x+2]

 

y-3 = 1/2 x + 1

y = 1/2 x + 4 <--- this is the slope intercept form
