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

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 one half.

 y - 6 = one half(x + 3)
 y = one halfx - 6
 y + 3 = one half(x - 6)
 x - 2y = 12

anonymous · Answer

by putting them in a graphing calculator i know that the last two equations are the only ones that go through the point (6,-3) but im not sure how to find the slope

anonymous · Answer

one of them should be your answer though

anonymous · Answer

y=mx + b

m is the slope
and b is the y-int

m=1/2, so
y=1/2x+b

to solve for b, use the given point
given point: (6, -3)
sub them into the equation
-3= 1/2(6) + b

solve for b, tell me what you got.
