I think you mean
y-y1=m(x-x1)
if so then you will replace y1 with the y coordinate
replace m with the slope value
and replace x1 with x coordinate
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the choices are:
y − 6 = (x + 3)
y = x − 6
y + 3 = (x − 6)
x − 2y = 12

so what do i do?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@amorfide
OpenStudy (amorfide):
i gave you the equation
y-y1=m(x-x1)
sub in y1 which is the value of the y coordinate
sub in m which is the value of the slope
sub in x1 which is the x coordinate
then simplify

so b?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got b is that right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@amorfide
OpenStudy (amorfide):
i dont get any of those answers lol but sure go with b, it's the closest i guess
OpenStudy (andriod09):
point/slope is this equation:
\[\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\]

so then the equation filled in would be:
\[\frac{\Delta(-3)}{\Delta6}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so b?
OpenStudy (andriod09):
does that fit the equation:
\[y=mx+b\] that should help you, and yes it does.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it is or is not b?
OpenStudy (amorfide):
x-2y=12
