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

On your Krabby patty?

First, get rid of the 1/2 on the right side; so multiply both sides by 2, you get
2(y - 3) = x + 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2y - 6 = x + 6
2y = x + 12
y = (x+12)/2
which means y = x/2 + 12/2
y = x/2 + 6
x/2 means half-x

So what do i do now?
Still Need Help?

Thats the last choice...you just had to rewrite the original equation in a different form.

ohhh...lol im an idiot...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y = (x/2) + 6 is called slope-intercept form becuase it is in the form of y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
