Given the equation y - 3= 1/2 (x+6) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in slope-intercept form.

x − 2y = −12

y= 1/2x

y=1/2x+6

y=1/2x+9

Question

Last one?

Distribute the 1/2 
y-3=1/2x-3
Add 3 to both sides
y=1/2x

It was wrong.

I'm sorry....this was the answer I have.

anonymous · Answer

Standard form is of the form "Ax + By = C".
y - 3 = (1/2)x + 3
y - (1/2)x = 6
Eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2.
2y - x = 12
Switch the x and y terms (the order) and multiply both sides so that the first term is positive.
 x - 2y = -12 (answer A)

@ZeruthC, that is the point-slope =form.

Your slope-intercept form is y = mx +b
