Question

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of -1/2 and passes through point (4, –5)?

Answer 1

Y=-1/2x-3

You can rewrite the equation “y=mx+b” and fill in what you know. So your equation would look like y=-1/2x+b when filling in what you know. Now you can take the (x,y) coordinates that you were given and plug them into the equation and solve for b. So now it would be -5=-1/2(4)+b

Answer 2

Y=-1/2x-3 is the best answer
