Question

How do you write the equation in point slope form given (4,3), slope -1/2?

Answer 1

`y-3=(-1/2)(x-4)`
[some will use `y-3=-1/2x+2`]

Explanation:

Point slope form is simply putting the point and slope into this formula

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

`y-3=(-1/2)(x-4)`

to put this into slope intercept form `y=-1/2x+5`

to put this into standard form `y+1/2x=5`
