SOLUTION: 7. Write the slope-intercept equation of the line l that goes through (6, �6) and has a slope of -1/2 This is what I got. y= mx + b 2y- 2(2) = 2((-1)x -6)

Question 151717: 7. Write the slope-intercept equation of the line l that goes through (6, �6) and has a slope of -1/2

This is what I got.
y= mx + b
2y- 2(2) = 2((-1)x -6)
2
2y- 4 = x - 6
2y = x � 2
x � 2y = 2

Y=mX+b
-6=-1/2*6+b
-6=-3+b
b=-6+3
b=-3 FOR THE Y INTERCEPT.
Y=-X/2-3 IS THE LINE EQUATION WITH A SLOPE=-1/2 THROUGH (6,-6)
