## anonymous one year ago 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.

Help?

@iambatman ?

3. anonymous

Y2-y1 over x2-x1

4. anonymous

Sorry y=mx+b

5. anonymous

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

6. pooja195

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

7. pooja195

(x1,y1) m=slope

8. pooja195

Either equation will give you the same answer

10. anonymous

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

@pooja195 @Niaa08

12. pooja195

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

13. anonymous

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

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

15. pooja195

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

16. anonymous

Then what?

17. pooja195

plug the info into the formula

18. abb0t

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

19. abb0t

not -3

20. abb0t

But choice 3 looks like the most correct.

21. pooja195

22. anonymous

oops yeah it's +3 not -3

23. abb0t

Yep, then that's the answer @TheDragon :)

24. pooja195

Wow.

25. anonymous

Thanks @abb0t @pooja195 for the help
