Question

which of the following is a point slope equation of a line with the point (-6,2) and a slope of 1/2?

Answer 1

Answer:

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

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

• x₁ - x coordinate
• y₁ - y coordinate
• m - slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (-6, 2)

Slope m = 1/2

Step 2: Find

1. Substitute in variables [Point-Slope Form]:                                                     y - 2 = 1/2(x - -6)
2. Simplify:                                                                                                             y - 2 = 1/2(x + 6)
