Incomplete Question the complete Qs is

Which of the following is a correct equation for the line passing through the point (-2,1) and having slope m = 1/2?  

a: y=1/2x+2

b: y=-2x+1/2

c: x-2y=-4

d: y-1=1/2(x+2)

Answer:

The Correct option is c. x-2y=-4

Therefore the correct equation for the line passing through the point (-2,1) and having slope m= 1/2 is

x-2y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Slope = m =\dfrac{1}{2}

point A(x₁, y₁)=(-2,1)  

To Find:  

Equation of Line  =?  

Solution:  

Equation of a line passing through a points A( x₁ , y₁) and having slope m is given by the formula,  

i.e equation in point - slope form

(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})

Now on substituting the slope and point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -2 , 1) we get

(y-1)=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-(-2))\\\\2y-2=x+2\\x-2y=-2-2=-4\\x-2y=-4 As required

Therefore the correct equation for the line passing through the point (-2,1) and having slope m= 1/2 is

x-2y=-4

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

27.

We can use ratios to solve

152 dollars     532 dollars

---------------- = ----------------

4 days              x days

Using cross products

152x = 4*532

152x =2128

Divide each side by 152

152x/152 = 2128/152

x =14

14 days

29.

1 inch        2/3 inches

------------ = ----------------

6.5 ft          x ft

Using cross products

1x = 2/3 * 6.5

x = 4.333333

c = 4 1/3 ft
