What is an equation that represents a line with a slope of -1/2 and crosses through the point (2,-3)

y + 3 = -1/2(x - 2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Coordinates (x, y)

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

x₁ - x coordinate y₁ - y coordinate m - slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (2, -3)

Slope m = -1/2

Step 2: Find Equation

Substitute in variables [Point-Slope Form]:                                                      y - -3 = -1/2(x - 2)Simplify:                                                                                                             y + 3 = -1/2(x - 2)

If you need an equation, it would be y=2x+8, y would be how long it grew, x being weeks.if you need how long he was asleep, it would be 4 weeks if he started with no beard, the equation would be x=8÷2if he did have a beard before hand, the equation would be 2w+x=8
