Question

Y-3=1/2(x+1) in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Answer:

y=1/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The points are (-1,3) and the slope is 1/2 before slope intercept form.

It's confusing, my apologies, but I hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

y = (1/2)x + 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First:  "slope-intercept form" looks like y = mx + b, where b is the y-coordinate of the intercept.

Starting with y-3=1/2(x+1), solve for y.  First, multiply both sides of this equation by 2 so as to eliminate the fractional coefficient (1/2):

2y - 6 = x + 1.

Solve for y:  First add 6 to both sides to isolate 2y:

2y = x + 7

Finally, division of all three terms isolates y and yields:

y = (1/2)x + 7/2

Here the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is 7/2.
