Which of the following is an equation of the line through (-3,4) with slope $1 / 2 ?$ (A) $y-4=\frac{1}{2}(x+3)$ (B) $y+3=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)$ (C) $y-4=-2(x+3)$ (D) $y-4=2(x+3)$ (E) $y+3=2(x-4)$
Prerequisites for Calculus
Linear Functions
Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3,4) and (-3,7) Solution: Write the slope formula. $\quad m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ Substitute (-3,4) and $(-3,7), \quad m=\frac{-3-(-3)}{4-7}=0$ This is incorrect. What mistake was made?

Lines
Use the point on the line and the slope of the line to find three additional points through which the line passes. (There are many correct answers.) $$ \begin{array}{ll}{\text { Point }} & {\text { Slope }} \\ {\text { (1,7) }} & {m=-3}\end{array} $$
