Which equation has a slope of -1/2 and a graph that passes through (-3,4)?

  D.  2y +x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve for y to find the slope. It will be the x-coefficient. The slopes for the different answer choices are ...

  a) -1/2

  b) -3/4 . . . not suitable

  c) 1/2 . . . not suitable

  d) -1/2

To determine if the line goes through the point, you can substitute for x and y and see if the equation works.

  a) 4 ?= -1/2(-3) +4 . . . . 4 ≠ 5 1/2

  d) 2(4) +(-3) = 5 . . . . . this equation works, so is the correct choice.

The equation with a slope of -1/2 going through (-3, 4) is ...

  2y +x = 5
