Write the equation of the line in the glven form. the line through (5, - 4) with slope 1/2 In point slope form The equation of the line iS

Answer 1

What is point slope form? Point slope form is y₂ - y₁ = m(x₂-x₁). m is the slope. Slope can be found by taking the difference of the ys of two points and divide it by the x of two points... in other words, slope = m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

Given: slope = m = 1/2 & slope intercept form is y₂ - y₁ = m(x₂-x₁) & the point (5, -4)

1) Plug into equation

y₂ + 4 = 1/2 (x₂ - 5)

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Use point=slope form:

y + 4 = (1/2)(x - 5)
