Question

What is the equation of the line with slope of 1/2 , and which passes through the point

Answer 1

Answer:

(y+5)=\frac{1}{2}(x-4) in point slope form

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of a line is $(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$ where $x_1=4\\y_1=-5$. We write  

$(y--5)=m(x-4)\\(y+5)=m(x-4)$

We know m the slope is $\frac{1}{2}$  and we substitute.

$(y+5)=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)$
