Given the equation y − 3 = one half(x + 6) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in standard form.
x − 2y = −12
y = one halfx
y = one halfx + 6
y = one halfx + 9

@AravindG Help?
OpenStudy (aravindg):
just use distributive property on RHS and take all terms to LHS
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Huh?
OpenStudy (aravindg):
huh?
OpenStudy (aravindg):

Will you show me how to do it im so confused.
OpenStudy (aravindg):
is ur equation
\[y-3=\dfrac{1 }{2} \times (x+6) ?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[y - 3 = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(x + 6)\]
OpenStudy (aravindg):
ok open brackets on RHS what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7?

7?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh wait, 3?
OpenStudy (aravindg):
yep
\[y-3=\dfrac{x}{2}+3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Now what
OpenStudy (aravindg):
now take all terms to LHS

OR WAIT
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how?
OpenStudy (aravindg):
a better idea would be to add 3 on both sides
OpenStudy (aravindg):
\[y-3=\dfrac{x}{2}+3 \]
OpenStudy (aravindg):
adding 3 on both sides what do you get ?

@ahoward79 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y = x/2 + 6
OpenStudy (aravindg):
check the options now
