Answer:
[tex]y =\dfrac{1}{2}x-6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Point-slope formula
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]
where:
- [tex]m[/tex] = slope (gradient)
- [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] = point on the line
Given:
- Gradient (m) = ¹/₂
- Point = (2, -5)
Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\begin{aligned}y-y_1 & =m(x-x_1)\\\\\implies y-(-5) & =\dfrac{1}{2}(x-2)\\\\y+5 & =\dfrac{1}{2}x-1\\\\y & =\dfrac{1}{2}x-1-5\\\\y & =\dfrac{1}{2}x-6\end{aligned}[/tex]
