What will be the equation of a line passing through the point (–4, 3) and having slope 1/2 ?

1. x – 2y + 5 = 0
2. – x + 2y + 10 = 0
3. x – 2y + 6 = 0
4. x – 2y + 10 = 0

Correct Option: D

Let the equation of line bey – y₁ = m(x – x₁)
Here,

m =	1
	2

and x₁ = – 4, y₁ = 3
⇒ Equation of line be

y - 3 =	1	(x + 4)
	2

2 y – 6 = x + 4
x – 2y + 10 = 0
