Answer 1

Hi Sleepy, thanks for using Jiskha! Please note that algebra is not spelled "algeabra". I have corrected the spelling in this post.

Answer 2

sorry, ive been working all night and im super tired hence my name

Answer 3

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that has a slope of 1/2 and passes through the point (5,-2) >>

(y+2)=.5(x-5)

Answer 4

(5, -2), (x, y). m = 1/2.
m = (y+2)/(x-5) = 1/2,
2(y+2) = (x-5),
(y+2) = 1/2(x-5).
