@iambatman ?

anonymous · Answer

Y2-y1 over x2-x1

anonymous · Answer

Sorry y=mx+b

anonymous · Answer

So This Is The Equation so far 6=1/2 (-3)+b
Now You Have To Solve for b

$$\huge~\rm~y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$

pooja195 · Answer

(x1,y1) 
m=slope

pooja195 · Answer

And where are your options??

anonymous · Answer

Either equation will give you the same answer

anonymous · Answer

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

pooja195 · Answer

Ok so we dont need to solve 
$$ \huge~\rm~y−y_1=m(x−x_1)$$
(x1,y1)
m=slope 
Just plug in the given info

anonymous · Answer

Im not so sure how to, im kinda new at this...

abb0t · Answer

Answer is $\sf \color{red}{C}$
in other words, choice number 3.

pooja195 · Answer

(6, -3) 
(x1,y1)
x1=6
y1=-3
And the slope is given
slope =1/2

anonymous · Answer

Then what?

pooja195 · Answer

plug the info into the formula

abb0t · Answer

Although, it should be $\sf \ y+3 = \frac{1}{2} x-6$

abb0t · Answer

not -3

abb0t · Answer

But choice 3 looks like the most correct.

pooja195 · Answer

@abb0t please stop giving direct answers and let the user learn

anonymous · Answer

oops yeah it's +3 not -3

abb0t · Answer
