Answer: Y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve this problem is y - 12 = 8

In order to solve the equation you need to add 12 to each side -

Y = 20

You can then check your work - 12 less than 20 equals 8. This is correct, so you know that your answer is correct.

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{2} x - 1$

Explanation:

The first pic shows the line graphed, while the second pic shows how to turn the equation into proper slope-intercept form.

The only steps the second pic is missing however, is flipping the sides around to be better understood (optional), and more importantly subtracting 2 on both sides in order to move it to the other side, to get 2y = x - 2. And dividing the 2 on both sides to get y by its self, to get:

y = (x-2)/2 , or y = 1/2 x - 2/2 , which if you notice 2/2 makes it equal to one whole so your answer is y = 1/2 x - 1 .
