Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (-14,17) with slope 1/2

Respuesta :

Answer:

The Standard Form for a linear equation is Ax + By = C (A ≥ 0)

Because we have coordinates of a point on the line and slope, let's use Point-Slope Form of linear equation

y - y1 = m(x -x1)

y - (- 4) = (1/2)(x - 6)  

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

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

Let's multiply both sides of the equation by (- 2)

x - 2y = 14

~~~~~~~~~

6 - 2*(- 4) = 14

6 + 8 = 14

  14 = 14
