Graph the line with slope -1/2 passing through the point (5,4)

put a down a point at (5,4) and go down 1 right 2, then plot another point.

You also can go from (5,4) up 1, left 2 and plot a point.

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

you already gave the answer
