Question

Y-5=-1/2(x+7) (find the slope)

Answer 1

It's the slope-point formula:

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

We have:

$y-5=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x+7)$

Therefore, the slope $m=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

Point slope form

y -y1 = m(x - x1) where m =  slope

In this case y - 5 = -1/2(x+7) , slope m = -1/2

Answer

Slope = -1/2
