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.

Answer 1

The point-slope form of the equation of a straight line is\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1}).\] The problem statement tells you that m is 1/2, x_1 is 6 and y_1 is -3. Substitute these values into the given equation.

Answer 3

Do you have a pic?

Answer 4

Drawing your own picture of this graph may help. Locate (plot) the point (6,-3). Now, becaise the slope is 1/2, move 2 units to the right from (6,-3), and then 1 unit up. Can you tell, from your graph, the coordinates of the y-intercept?
