Question

choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (1,-4) with a slope of 1/2

Answer 1

Well, we can use the form y = mx + b, where m equals the slope and x and y are the coordinate values:
-4 = 1/2(1) + b
b = 9/2
Therefore, the equation of the line is:
y = 1/2x + 9/2
