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

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

anonymous · Answer

The point-slope form of the equation the line that passes through the point (a,b) and has the slope m is
 
y-b = m(x-a)
 
Therefore, the equation the line that passes through the point (6, -3) and has the slope 1/2 is
 
y - (-3) = 1/2 (x - 6)
 
y + 3 = 1/2 (x-6)

$$y-y _{1}= m(x-x _{1})$$
where $$(x _{1},y _{1}) = (6,-3)$$
and m = 1/2
so which do you think fits?
