Question

Choose the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (6, −3) and has a slope of one half

Answer 1

y = 1/2x - 6

Explanation:

slope = 1/2 = m

lets find your y-intercept using slope intercept form: y = mx + b using the points they gave us (6, -3)

y = mx + b; plug what we know to find b, which is our y-intercept.

-3 = 1/2(6) + b

-3 = 3 + b

-6 = b

Now you have all you need to write your equation

y = mx + b

y = 1/2x - 6
