Question

Convert the equation, x - 2y = 6, into slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

`\boxed {y = -(1)/(2)x + 3}`

Explanation:

Convert the equation from Standard Form to Slope-Intercept Form:

`Ax + By = C` ⇒
`y = mx + b`

-The following equation:

`x - 2y = 6`

-Solve:

`x - 2y = 6`

`x - x - 2y = 6 - x`

`2y = -x + 6`

`(2y)/(2) = (-x)/(2) + (6)/(2)`

`\boxed {y = -(1)/(2)x + 3}`

So, the equation in Slope-Intercept Form is
`y = -(1)/(2)x + 3`.
