Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (6, −3) and has a slope of one half.

y − 6 = one half(x + 3)

y = one halfx − 6

y + 3 = one half(x − 6)

x − 2y = 12

HELP PLEASE

jack1 · Answer

y - y1 = m(x - x1) is the point slope form of an equation

nikato · Answer

The third one its pretty much like the point slope formula

jack1 · Answer

(x1, y1) is your known point, in this case (6, -3)

anonymous · Answer

Im never going to understand slope -.-

jack1 · Answer

m is the slope, in this case 0.5 or 1/2, whichever ur more comfy with

anonymous · Answer

0.5 I dont like fractions

anonymous · Answer

so wait the answer is the 3rd one ?

jack1 · Answer

ok, so use this equation:
$$\large y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$$, substitute y1 for -3, x1 for 6 and m for 1/2
so whats your answer?

jack1 · Answer

yep,  @nikato was correct above in saying it's the 3rd one

jack1 · Answer

do u understand why now tho? @Aileennx3

anonymous · Answer

No I dont understand slope period I have the hardest times with it
