ANSWER

B) y = 1/2x - 6

EXPLANATION

We have that the line passes through (6 -3) and has a slope of 1/2.

To find the point-slope form of the equation, we have to use the formula:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

where m = slope = 1/2

(x1, y1) = (6, -3)

So, we have:

y - (-3) = 1/2 (x - 6)

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

y + 3 = 1/2 x - 3

=> y = 1/2x - 3 - 3

y = 1/2x - 6

The answer is Option B
