Answer:the point slope form is

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

Explanation:

The point slope form of a line is expressed as

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where

m represents the slope of the line.

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

From the information given,

slope, m = - 1/2

y1 = - 1

x1 = 6

Therefore, the point slope eqy would be

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

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