Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation -2y=x-1?

Answer 1

In the equation of a straight line: y = mx + c, slope is denoted

by the letter m.

`\it -2y = x-1|_(:(-2)) \Rightarrow y = -(1)/(2)x+(1)/(2) \Rightarrow m = -(1)/(2)`

Answer 2

the slope is negative one half or -1/2
