Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the given point and given slope. (-3,7), m = 1/2

Answer 1

The point-slope form of an equation is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line, and m is the slope of the line.

Given that the point is (-3,7) and the slope is m = 1/2, we can substitute these values into the point-slope form equation:

y - 7 = 1/2(x - (-3))

Simplifying this equation, we have:

y - 7 = 1/2(x + 3)

This is the equation in point-slope form for the given point (-3,7) and given slope m = 1/2.
