\text{Answer : y = }(1)/(2)x\text{ - 2}

The standard form of the slope intercept equation is written as

y = mx + b

Where m = slope and b = intercept


\begin{gathered} (y\text{ - 1) = }(1)/(2)(x\text{ - 6)} \\ \text{Firstly, open the parentheses} \\ y\text{ - 1 = }(1)/(2)\cdot\text{ x - }(1)/(2)\cdot\text{ 6} \\ y\text{ - 1 = }(1)/(2)x\text{ - }(6)/(2) \\ y\text{ - 1 = }(1)/(2)x\text{ - 3} \\ \text{Isolate y} \\ y\text{ = }(1)/(2)x\text{ - 3 + 1} \\ y\text{ = }(1)/(2)x\text{ - 2} \end{gathered}
