Find an equation of the line that satifies the given conditions. (a)Write the equation in standard form. (b)Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Question

Through (-5,4);slope 1/2

Answer 1

y - 4 = .5(x - (-5))

 

y - 4 = .5x + 2.5

 

y = .5x + 2.5 + 4 -------------->y = .5x + 6.5     (slope intercept form)

 

.5x - y = -6.5   (standard form)
