Question

A line passes through the point (4, –2) and has a slope of One-half.

Answer 1

Answer:

a = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line in point-slope form is y + 2 = (1/2)(x - 4).

Replacing x with -4 yields                   y + 2 = (1/2)(-4 - 4)  =  (1/2)(-8)

Then y + 2 = -4, and so y = -6, or a = - 6.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Answer would be A= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line in point-slope form is y + 2 = (1/2)(x - 4).

• Replacing x with would be result in y + 2 = (1/2)(-4 - 4)  =  (1/2)(-8)  

• .Then y + 2 = -4, which would mean that y = -6, or a = - 6 would be the answer to this equation.

Hope this helps.  :)
