Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (2, -4) with a slope of 1/2.
A) y = 1/2 x + 5
B) y = 1/2 x - 3
C) y = 1/2 x - 5
D) y = 1/2 x + 3
we only need to put the values and find the equation
[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}*x+5[/tex]
[tex]-4=\frac{1}{2}*2+5[/tex]
[tex]-4=6[/tex]
False
[tex]y=\frac{}{}*x-3[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}*x-3[/tex]
[tex]-4=\frac{1}{2}*2-3[/tex]
[tex]-4=-2[/tex]
False
[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}*x-5[/tex]
[tex]-4=\frac{1}{2}*2-5[/tex]
[tex]-4=-4[/tex]
True
[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}*x+3[/tex]
[tex]-4=\frac{1}{2}*2+3[/tex]
[tex]-4=4[/tex]
False
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\therefore~the~equation~that~represents~the~line~is~~C}}[/tex]
