Question

What is x-2y=3 in slope intercept form

Answer 1

The objective is to make y the subject.

x - 2y = 3

Take away x from both sides:

-2y = -x + 3

Multiply by -1 on both sides:

2y = x - 3

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 1/2 x - 3/2

Answer: (D) y = 1/2 x - 3/2

Answer 2

So firstly, subtract x on both sides: $-2y=-x+3$

Next, divide -2 on both sides, and your answer will be y = 1/2x - 3/2 , or the last option.
