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.

Question

anonymous · Answer

A. y - 6 = one half(x + 3)
B. y = one halfx - 6
C. y + 3 = one half(x - 6)
D. x - 2y = 12

anonymous · Answer

2y = x -12

anonymous · Answer

That's not one of the answers, can you explain?

anonymous · Answer

y = x/2  - 6

anonymous · Answer

Again you aren't helping... could you explain the steps? I have no idea how to do this.

point slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

using slope(m) = 1/2
(6,-3)  x1 = 6 and y1 = -3
now we just sub

y - (-3) = 1/2(x - 6) = 
y + 3 = 1/2(x - 6)
