Question

Write the equation (-3,6) m=1/2 in standard form

Answer 1

x - 2y = -15

Explanation:

Given: m = 1/2 and (-3, 6)

We are given slope and a point.

The equation of the line y - y1 = m (x - x1)

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

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

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

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

1/2x - y = -15/2

Taking LCD as 2, we get

x - 2y = -15

Thank you.
