Question

Write the standard form of the line that contains a slope of -1/2 and y intercept of 1

Answer 1

The equation for the stand form of a line is y = mx + b.

You will need 
m = slope
b = y-intercept

The question already gave you both of those so you simply put them into the equation "y=mx+b"

m = -1/2
y-intercept = 1
Plug those into "y = mx + b"

Your equation is: y = -1/2x + 1
