Question

Choose the graph below that corresponds to the equation y – 6 = –1/2(x + 1).

Answer 1

I think it's either the first or third one, but I'm not sure. Please help!!

Answer 2

It's the last one

Answer 3

How??

Answer 4

Oh nvm. Third one yes.

Answer 5

Are you sure???

Answer 6

Yes, its the third one

Answer 7

Rearrange your equation to form a line in the form
y = mx + b

Answer 8

When you do that, distribute the -0.5 across.
you get y = -0.5x + 6.5
which is the same as
\[-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x + \frac{ 13 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 9

Ohh.. That makes sense. Thank you both! :)

Answer 10

I had the slope-intercept form down but I was confused on what to do next with the graph, but thanks.
