Which equation represents a line that passes through (5, 1) and has a slope of StartFraction one-half EndFraction?

y – 5 = y minus 5 equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 1 right-parenthesis.(x –1)
y – y minus StartFraction one-half EndFraction equals 5 left-parenthesis x minus 1 right-parenthesis. = 5(x –1)
y – 1 = y minus 1 equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 5 right-parenthesis.(x –5)
y – 1 = 5y minus 1 equals 5 left-parenthesis x minus StartFraction one-half EndFraction right-parenthesis.

y − 1 = (1/2)(x − 5)

This is the point-slope form with slope 1/2 through (5, 1). In slope-intercept form: y = (1/2)x − 3/2.
