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 1/2.

y - 6 = 1/2(x + 3)
y = 1/2x - 6
y + 3 = 1/2(x - 6)
x - 2y = 12

Question

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 1/2.
  
 y - 6 = 1/2(x + 3) 
 y =  1/2x - 6 
 y + 3 =  1/2(x - 6) 
 x - 2y = 12

campbell_st · Answer

the point slope form is 

y -(-3) = 1/2(x - 6)

which doesn't appear as an answer choice

anonymous · Answer

You have to find the slope first! That's the equation, plug in point & solve

anonymous · Answer

I just edited the question @campbell_st. I forgot to add in the fractions

campbell_st · Answer

the question says the slope is 1/2

campbell_st · Answer

so you just need to simplify 

y - (-3)
