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 . (1 point)

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

@pooja195  Can you help me please??

anonymous · Answer

Slope of 1/2 is the number in front of the x after you convert the form to y=mx+b

anonymous · Answer

So how would you convert the first one?

kkutie7 · Answer

y=m(x-x1)+y1
m equals the slope. x1= x-coordinate and y1=y-coordinate

kkutie7 · Answer

the equation can be written as y-y1=m(x-x1) too

anonymous · Answer

because all the equations are in different forms, you kinda just have to pick one of these forms and go with it.

kkutie7 · Answer

@battlealex88 plug the numbers into the equation and it will be clear to you.
y1=-3, x1=6, and m=1/2
y-y1=m(x-x1)
