Question

How do you write an equation in point slope form that passes through (0,3) with slope -1/2?

Answer 1

The equation in point-slope form is `y-3=m(x-0)`.

Point-slope form: `y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`, where `m` is the slope, and `x_1` and `y_1` are the given point `(0,3)`.

`m=-1/2`
`x_1=0`
`y_1=3`

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)` =

`y-3=m(x-0)`
