Exercise 15 Page 211

You are given everything you need to use point-slope form.

y+1=1/2(x-4)

Practice makes perfect
Using the given point and slope, we can apply the point-slope form to write and graph the equation. We will start by writing the equation. An equation in point-slope form follows a specific format. y- y_1= m(x- x_1) In this format, m represents the slope and the point ( x_1, y_1) lies on the graph of the line. We are given the point ( 4, -1) and the slope 12, so we have everything we need to create a point-slope form equation.
y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
y-( -1)= 1/2(x- 4)
y+1=1/2(x-4)
