Question

Rewrite the equation of a line in point-slope form to slope-intercept form:

Answer 1

@mathplane think u might be able to help me with this one?

Answer 2

Point-slope form is: \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\)
Slope-intercept form is: \(y = mx + b\)
\[y - 3 = \frac12(x - 8) \implies y = \frac12(x - 8) + 3 \implies ?\]Can you simplify the right hand side?

Answer 3

1/2x-4+3?

Answer 4

Yup, You can still simplify one last thing though.
\[y = \frac12x - 4 + 3 \implies y = ?\]

Answer 5

D. y=1/2x-1 . thanks calcmathlete
