Question

Write the standard form of the line that contains a slope of −1/2 and y-intercept of 1. Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided to submit your solution.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form of y = mx + b

Slope is m = -1/2 and y-intercept is b = 1

The function is y = -1/2x + 1

y+1/2x=1

(2y+1x)/2=1

2y+x=2

x+2y=2

Answer 2

• x + 2y = 4

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form:

• y = mx + b

Slope is m = -1/2 and y-intercept is b = 1

The function is:

• y = -1/2x + 1

Standard form is:

• Ax + By = C

Converting the function into standard form:

• y = -1/2x + 2 ⇒ 2y = - x + 4 ⇒ x + 2y = 4
