Question

Given the equation y − 3 = one half (x + 6) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in standard form. (1 point)

A) x − 2y = −12
B) y = one half x
C)y = one half x + 6
D) y = one half x + 9

Answer 1

The answer is C.

y - 3 = 1/2 (x +6). Distribute 1/2 (x + 6) = 1/2x

y - 3 = 1/2x + 3 . Add 3 from both sides.

y = 1/2x + 6.
