Write an equation, in point-slope form, of the line that passes through the point ( - 2, 7 ) and has the slope

1 / 2. Then rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.

a.)y-2=(1/2)(x+7);y=(1/2)x+((11/2)
b.) y-7=(1/2)(x+2);y=(1/2)x+8
c.)y+7=(1/2)(x-2);y=(1/2)x-8
d.)y+2=(1/2)(x-7);y=(1/2)x-(11/2)

Use the point-slope formula, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) and (x,y) are the points on the line.

Let:

(x1,y1) = (-2,7)
m = ½

So:

y - 7 = ½(x - (-2))
y - 7 = ½(x + 2)
y - 7 = x/2 + 1
y = x/2 + 1 + 7
y = x/2 + 8

I hope this helps!
