Question

Write −1/2x + y = 10 in slope-intercept form.

1/2 is a fraction

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

So you need to isolate the "y" in the equation

`-(1)/(2)x+y=10` Add 1/2x to both sides

`-(1)/(2)x+(1)/(2)x+y=10+(1)/(2)x`

`y=(1)/(2)x+10`

Answer 2

y = 1/2 x+10

Explanation:

-1/2 x+y = 10

slope intercept form is y = mx+b so we need to get y alone

add 1/2x to each side

-1/2x + 1/2x +y = 1/2x +10

y = 1/2 x+10

the slope is 1/2 and the y intercept is 10
