Question

-x+1/2y=-5/2 slope intercept form

Answer 1

Remember that slope-intercept form is the following:

$y = mx+ b$

• $m$ is the slope of the line
• $b$ is the y-intercept

Let's try to solve for that form.

$-x + \dfrac{1}{2} y = -\dfrac{5}{2}$

• Set up

$\dfrac{1}{2} y = x - \dfrac{5}{2}$

• Add $x$ to both sides

$y = 2x - 5$

• Multiply both sides by 2

The equation is y = 2x - 5.
