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 fraction 1 over 2 .

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

When we have the slope m of the line and a point (a,b) which the line passes through, the point-slope form is

y - b = m (x -a)

Since the slope is 1/2 and the line passes through (6, -3), the point-slope equation is

y -(-3) = (1/2)(x -6)

or

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