    algebra
    Can you please help me with this algebra problem:

    find points and slope of the following linear equation:
    (y+1)= -1/2(x-2)

    I know the slope is -1/2

    Are the points (2, -1)??


    Another problem I am having problems with:
    Find the equation for the line that is parallel to the line with the eqaution:
    (y-2)=3/4(x+5) passing through the point (0,-3)

    And find the eqaution for the line that is perpendicular to the line with the equation 4x-2y= -8 passing through the point (-2, 4)


    Thanks

    The slope is indeed -1/2 (1 down, 2 over).
    The intersection is 0,0
