Question

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of Negative one-half and passes through point (4, –5)? y = negative one-half x + three-halves y = negative one-half x + StartFraction 13 Over 2 EndFraction y = negative one-half x minus 7 y = negative one-half x minus 3

Answer 1

Answer:

Its D

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

y = (-1/2)x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Please present the equation symbolically instead of in words:

m = -1/2, passing through (4, -5):

Using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b, and using m = -1/2, x = 4 and y = -5, we get:

-5 = (-1/2)(4) + b, or -5 = -2 + b.  Then b = -3 and the desired equation is:

y = (-1/2)x - 3
