Question

Change -2Y - X=-2 to the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -(1/2)x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2Y - X = -2

Add x to both sides:

-2Y = X - 2

Divide both sides by -2:

Y = -(1/2)x+1

You could also use the shortcuts:

For Ay+Bx=C, the slope is -B/A and the y-intercept is C/A.

Slope = -B/A = -(-1)/(-2) = 1/-2 = -(1/2)

Y-intercept = C/A = (-2)/(-2) = 1

y = mx + b ---> y = -(1/2)x + 1

Answer 2

Answer:

y = -1/2x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

-2y -x = -2

Solve for y

Add x to each side

-2y = x-2

Divide by -2

-2y/2- = x/-2 -2/-2

y = -1/2x +1
