Question

Graph the line passing through the given point and having the given slope. Give the slope intercept form of the equation of the line if possible. (1,-2) m=-1/2

Answer 1

Y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - (-2) = -¹/₂(x - 1)
y + 2 = -¹/₂(x - 1)
y + 2 = -¹/₂x + ¹/₂
    - 2            - 2  
       y = -¹/₂x - 1¹/₂

Answer 2

Equation of the line is y=mx+b
the line passing through point (1;-2) so x=1 y=-2
m=-0.5 so put all these values in equetion and found value of b
-2=-0.5*1+b
-2=-0.5+b
b=-1.5
so equation of the line is y=-0.5x-1.5
Answer:
equation of the line is y=-0.5x-1.5
