Answer:
See attachment for graph
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]m = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-1,2)[/tex]
Required
Graph the line
First, is to determine the equation of the line using:
[tex]m = \frac{y - y_1}{x - x_1}[/tex]
So:
[tex]-\frac{1}{2} = \frac{y - 2}{x - -1}[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{1}{2} = \frac{y - 2}{x +1}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{-1}{2} = \frac{y - 2}{x +1}[/tex]
Cross multiply:
[tex](y -2) * 2 = -1 * (x + 1)[/tex]
[tex](y -2) * 2 = -x -1[/tex]
Solve for y - 2
[tex]y -2 = -\frac{x}{2} -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Solve for y
[tex]y = -\frac{x}{2} -\frac{1}{2} + 2[/tex]
[tex]y = -\frac{x}{2} +\frac{-1+4}{2}[/tex]
[tex]y = -\frac{x}{2} +\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
The above equation will then be plotted on the graph (See attachment)
