What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (2, -2) and has a
slope of -1/2

y = 2x - 8    OR     4 - 2x = -4 - y

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope form m(x₁-x₂) = (y₁-y₂); m means slope

plug in your numbers:

2(2-x₂) = (-4-y₂)

4 - 2x = -4 - y

or to put it into Y=mx + b:

y = 2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Y= -1/2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
