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 .

Answer 1

What are the equations?

Answer 2

they are
y − 6 =1/2 (x + 3)

y =1/2 x − 6

y + 3 =1/2 (x − 6)

x − 2y = 12

Answer 3

Hint: use y = mx + b to figure out the line.

Since you're given the slope, m = 1/2 and the point (x,y) = (6,-3), substitute those into the formula to get

-3 = 1/2(6) + b

Then solve for b to get

-3 = 3 + b
-3 - 3 = b
-6 = b

So b = -6

Now re-write the line using only the slope and the y-intercept in the form y = mx + b:

y = 1/2x - 6
