Write the equation of a line that has a slope of 1/2 and passes through (6, -4). Write your answer in slope-intercept form.

Answer :

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form: y = (1/2)x - 7.

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + c

m (slope) = 1/2

Let (x1, y1) be (6, -4)

Using point-slope form,
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-4) = 1/2 * (x - 6)
y + 4 = (1/2)x - 3
y = (1/2)x - 7
