Question

write the equation of the line using the given slope and pointm=1/2 (-2,3)

Answer 1

Hello!

We already know:

• slope ,(m) = 1/2

,

• point ,(x, y) = (-2, 3)

To write the equation of the line, we must use the formula below:

$y-y_p=m(x-x_p)$

So, let's replace with the values in the formula:

$\begin{gathered} y-3=\frac{1}{2}(x-(-2)) \\ y-3=\frac{1}{2}(x+2) \\ 2y-6=x+2 \\ x+2+6-2y=0 \\ \boxed{x-2y+8=0} \end{gathered}$
