Question

Given the equation y-3 =1\2(x+6) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in standard form

A. x - 2 = -12

B. y= 1\2x

C. y = 1\2x + 6

D. y = 1\2x + 9

Answer 1

y - 3 = 1/2(x + 6)
first thing you need to do is distribute the 1/2 through the parenthesis....can you do that ?
wait....lol....this is simpler then I thought. ( that is if the first answer choice has a y after the -2) standard form is Ax + By = C.....there is only 1 answer choice in this form. Any thoughts ?

Answer 2

my choice is A. I am bad at math so, coming hear is the best place for me to find the answers i need. :)

Answer 3

It would be A...but only if there was a y after the -2

Answer 4

i did not read the first part of your reply :/. i am so sorry :/

Answer 5

unless the question is asking for slope intercept form ??

Answer 6

i am going with C

Answer 7

no...wait....let me show you
y - 3 = 1/2(x + 6)
y - 3 = 1/2x + 3
y = 1/2x + 3 + 3
y = 1/2x + 6 <=== slope intercept form

y = 1/2x + 6 -- subtract 1/2x
-1/2x + y = 6 -- multiply by -2
x - 2y = -12 <== standard form

Answer 8

so...... its A?

Answer 9

if A, the way you posted in your answer choices has no y in it.....if it is supposed to be :
x - 2y = -12, then that is the correct answer if you need it in standard form

Answer 10

i forgot the y. *slaps hand on forhead*

Answer 11

lol....its A then

Answer 12

thank you so much!!!! your the best!!!!

Answer 13

lol...not sure about that...but thanks

Answer 14

can you help me with another question?

Answer 15

I can try...can't make no promises

Answer 16

choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the points (-3,2) and (2,1)

A. y+3 = -5(x,2)

B. y-2 = -5(x+3)

C. y+3 =-1/5(x-2)

D. y-2 = -1/5(x+3)

Answer 17

first we find the slope by using the slope formula
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
now we have 2 sets of points...
set 1 = (-3,2)....so we will call these x1 and y1 --- (x1 = -3 and y1 = 2)
set 2 = (2,1)...so we will call these x2 and y2 --- (x2 = 2 and y2 = 1)
now we sub into our slope formula
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope(m) = (1 - 2) / (2 - (-3)
slope(m) = -1/(2 + 3)
slope(m) = -1/5

now we need it in point-slope form : y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -1/5...so that automatically eliminates A and B

lets use either of our points
(-3,2)....x1 = -3 and y1 = 2
so now we sub into our point-slope formula
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = -1/5(x - (-3)
y - 2 = -1/5(x + 3) <=== this is your point-slope form
questions ??

Answer 18

so its D? i suck at math, but i have you to help me :)

Answer 19

yes...its D

Answer 20

thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 21

YW :)

Answer 22

this next question is the same as the other one, but different numbers
