Question

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (6, -3) and has a slope of 1/2

y - 6 = 1/2 (x + 3)
y = 1/2 x - 6
y+ 3 = 1/2 (x - 6)
x - 2y = 12

Answer 1

they all seem to have a slope of 1/2 so you might try plugging in (6-3) into all of 'em and see which one holds true...

Answer 2

i did but i got confused .

Answer 3

for example, 6 is your x coordinate and -3 is your y coordinate.

plug it in to the first equation:
y - 6 =1/2(x+3)
(-3) -6 = 1/2(6+3) is this a true statement? simplify if you need to.

Answer 4

hello?
