Question 1 • Mathematics 8

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of 1 half and passes through point open paren 2 comma negative 3 close paren ?

Answer
A
y is equal to 1 half x minus 2
B
y is equal to 1 half x minus 4
C
y is equal to 1 half x plus 2
D
y is equal to 1 half x plus 3

Explanation

Use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where the slope m is 1/2. Substitute the point (2, -3): -3 = (1/2)(2) + b = 1 + b, so b = -4. The equation is y = (1/2)x - 4, which is choice B.
