The equation that represents the line that passes through the point (6, −3) and has a slope of one half is 2y - x = 13.
The equation of a line is represented as,
y = mx + c equation1
x and y are the coordinates of the point from where the line is passing and m is the slope of the line.
As per the question the line is passing from the point (6, -3). This means value of x = 6 and that of y = -3. The slope of line is (1/2), means m = (1/2).
The slope of the line through the point (-1,6) can also be written as (y - 6)/(x - (-1)) = (y-6)/(x+1).
i.e., m = (y-6)/(x+1)
On equating both the values of m, we will get
(y-6)/(x+1) = 1/2
On simplifying, we get
2y - 12 = x +1
or 2y - x = 13
The equation that represents the line that passes through the point (6, −3) and has a slope of one half is 2y - x = 13.
