Question

Given the equation y − 3 = one half(x + 6) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in slope-intercept form.  walk me through this one plz

anonymous · Answer

i have y-3+one half (x+6) wrote dowm

phi · Answer

$$ y -3 = \frac{1}{2} (x+6) $$

first add +3 to both sides
2nd:   distribute the 1/2  over (x+6)
3rd:  simplify

can you do that ?

anonymous · Answer

= one half not plus one half

phi · Answer

to add +3 to both sides of the equation  write
+3  on both sides
then simplify (the left side)

to distribute 1/2 ,  multiply 1/2 times each term inside the parens

im confused already

phi · Answer

$$ y -3 = \frac{1}{2} (x+6) $$

can you write +3 on both sides ?
