Write this equation of a line in point slope form: slope 1/2; (3, -1)

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form of an equation is a shortcut, fill-in-the-blank way to write the equation of a line. All you need is slope (usually symbolized with an m) and a point (any point on the line)

Here's Point-slope:

y - Y = m (x - X)

The slope they gave you is 1/2, put that in for the m.

And also fill in 3 for the X and -1 for the Y. Because a point is (X,Y)

Just leave the first y as a y, right there. And leave the first x in the parentheses as an x. They are variables in the equation. They stay letters.

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

Simplify.

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

Minus a negative is the same as plus a positive, that's what happened there on the left. Also, when you write it, make sure the 1/2 is beside the parentheses on the right. The parentheses should not be on the bottom with the 2, but just beside the fraction.
