Question

Write in slope intercept form.

x-2y+3=1

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

x - 2y + 3 = 1 (subtract 3 from both sides )

x - 2y = - 2 ( subtract x from both sides )

- 2y = - x - 2 ( divide through by - 2 )

`(-2)/(-2)` y =
`(-1)/(-2)` x -
`(2)/(-2)` ( simplifying gives )

y =
`(1)/(2)` x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form
