Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form for a line through the following: through (5,2). with a slope of -1/2

Answer 1

good evening ,

Answer:

let D represent the line

D : y = (-1/2)x + 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the line D is y=mx+p

now let’s find m and p

m is the slope then m= (-1/2)

A(5,2)∈D ⇌ 2=(-1/2)×5+p ⇌ p=9/2=4.5.

that’s it.
