Question

How do you write an equation in standard form for a line passing through B(6, 2), m = -1/2?

Answer 1

`x+2y=10`

Explanation:

You can use the general relationship:
`y-y_0=m(x-x_0)`

Where:

`m=` slope
(`x_0,y_0`) are the coordinates of your point.

In your case:

`y-2=-1/2(x-6)`
`y=-1/2x+5`

in standard form:
`x+2y=10`
