Question 1159377
<font color=black size=3>
The slope is 1/2
The point the line goes through is (-1, -7)


There are infinitely many points this line goes through, but the one point we can read directly from the point-slope equation is (-1,-7) because we can write
{{{y + 7 = expr(1/2)(x+1)}}}
into
{{{y - (-7) = expr(1/2)(x-(-1))}}} 


From here, we compare that to {{{y-y[1] = m(x-x[1])}}} and see that 
{{{m = 1/2}}} is the slope and *[Tex \Large \left(x_1,y_1\right) = \left(-1,-7\right)] is one point the line goes through.
