Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$Ax + By = C$  ⇒  $y = mx + b$

-The following equation:

$x - 2y = 6$

-Solve:

$x - 2y = 6$

$x - x - 2y = 6 - x$

$2y = -x + 6$

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{-x}{2} + \frac{6}{2}$

$\boxed {y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 3}$

So, the equation in Slope-Intercept Form is $y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 3$.
