What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -5) and has a
slope of -1/2 ?

Sagot :

Answer:

y = -1/2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using y = mx + b  

        -5 = -1/2(-6) + b     Substitute m = -1/2  and point (-6, -5)

        -5 = 3 + b

        -8 = b

The equation is y = -1/2x - 8
