Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.

Answer 1

Answer:

y=1/2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

2y=-4+x

2y=x-4 divide both sides by 2

y=1/2x-4/2

y=1/2x-2

Answer 2

Answer:

$y = 0.5x - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is

$y = mx + b$

Our initial goal is to isolate y.

$2y - x = -4$

Add x to both sides of the equation.

$(2y - x) + x = (-4) + x$

Simplify.

$2y =x -4$

Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{2y }{2} = \frac{(x - 4)}2}$

Simplify.

$y = 0.5x - 2$
