Question
Create a vector-valued function whose graph matches the given description.A line through (1,5) with a slope of $-1 / 2$.
Step 1
Using the point-slope form of a linear equation, we have: y - 5 = -1/2 (x - 1) Now, we can rewrite this equation in terms of x and y: y = -1/2x + 5 + 1/2 y = -1/2x + 11/2 Now, we can create a vector-valued function that represents this line. A vector-valued Show more…
