Answer:
slope = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
y + 3 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](x - 2) is in this form
with slope m = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
what is the slope of the equation y+3=1/2(x-2)?
STEPS:
y+3=[tex]\frac{1}{2 } (x-2)[/tex]
Switch Sides:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} (x-2)=2y+3[/tex]
Multiply both sides by two:
2·[tex]\frac{1}{2} (x-2)=2y+2[/tex]·3
Simplify:
x-2=2y+6
Add 2 to both sides:
x-2+2=2y+6+2
Simplify:
x=2y+8
