Question

An equation for the line that has a slope of 1/2 and passes through the point (-2,5)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = 1/2x + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Find the equation

$(y - y_1) = m(x - x_1)$

$(y - (5)) = 1/2(x - (-2))$

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

$y - 5 + 5 = 1/2x + 1 + 5$

$y = 1/2x + 6$

Answer:  $y = 1/2x + 6$
