Kelp please...

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

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.
