Answer 1

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-6}{-2-(-4)}\implies \cfrac{-1}{-2+4}\implies -\cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-6=-\cfrac{1}{2}[x-(-4)]\implies y-6=-\cfrac{1}{2}(x+4)$
