Question

Given the equation y − 3 = (x + 6) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in slope-intercept form.

x − 2y = −12

y = 1/2x

y = 1/2x + 6

y = 1/2x + 9

Answer 1

YES I am AM HERE MY PULPI

Answer 2

lol. Gandalf, you're here!

Answer 3

Yes but one thing this question has a error.

Answer 4

oops, sorry. here you go. Given the equation y − 3 = 1/2(x + 6) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in slope-intercept form.

Answer 5

It is B because slop intercept form is y=mx + b
m= 1/2 and their is no y intercept.

Answer 6

the first step is "distribute" the 1/2 in
y − 3 = 1/2(x + 6)

can you do that ?

Answer 7

if you think of the parens as a package, and you have 1/2 of a package, you have 1/2 of everything in the package.

Answer 8

the 2nd step is add +3 to both sides.

Answer 9

@phi and then...

Answer 10

the first step is "distribute" the 1/2 in
y − 3 = 1/2(x + 6)

can you do that ?

Answer 11

distribute means multiply 1/2 times each thing inside the parens

Answer 12

1/2x+ 3

Answer 13

multiply 1/2 means write 1/2 * in front of each thing

so you get
y - 3 = 1/2 x + 3

2nd step is : add +3 to both sides

Answer 14

add +3 means write +3 on both sides, then simplify

Answer 15

y=1/2x+6

Answer 16

he is correct

Answer 17

now go over the steps, and see if they make sense. All these problems are the same, and once you figure it out, you can do all of them

Answer 18

Awesome! Thanks @phi !!! :)
