Answer:

  • y = 1/2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Line passing through the point (2, -2)
  • The slope is m = 1/2

The equation of a line:

  • y = mx + b, where m is a slope, b is a y-intercept

Use the coordinates of the point and find the value of b:

  • -2 = 1/2*2 + b
  • -2 = 1 + b
  • b = -2 - 1
  • b = -3

The line is:

  • y = 1/2x - 3

Answer:

y = ½x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2

y = - 2

a = ½

y = ax + b

- 2 = ½(2) + b

- 2 = 1 + b

b = - 2 - 1

b = - 3

y = ax + b

y = ½x + (-3)

y = ½x - 3
