Answer:
The line of the equation in the point-slope form of the line passing through the point (3, -1) and having slope 1/2 will be:
[tex]y +1 = \frac{1}{2} (x-3)[/tex]
Please check the attached graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Point slope form:
[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]
where
- m is the slope of the line
In our case:
m = 1/2
The point (x₁, y₁) = (3, -1)
substituting the values m = 1/2 and the point (x₁, y₁) = (3, -1) in the point-slope form of the line equation
[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]
[tex]y - (-1) = \frac{1}{2} (x-3)[/tex]
[tex]y +1 = \frac{1}{2} (x-3)[/tex]
Thus, the line of the equation in the point-slope form of the line passing through the point (3, -1) and having slope 1/2 will be:
[tex]y +1 = \frac{1}{2} (x-3)[/tex]
