Question

What is the slope of the line with the equation y-3=-1/2(x-2)?

Answer 1

Answer:  $-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y -3 = -\frac{1}{2}(x-2)$

Write as slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

$y-3=-\frac{1}{2}x + 1$

     $y = -\frac{1}{2}x+4$

Therefore, the slope is $-\frac{1}{2}$.
