Question

Please answer :D Rearrange the linear equation so that it is in slope-intercept form. Identify the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b). You must show your work for full credit.
x - 4 = 2(y - 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

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

The slope is 1/2.

The y-intercept is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

$x-2=2(y-3)$

Let’s divide both sides by 2. This gives us:

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{4}{2}=y-3$

Simplify:

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

Add 3 to both sides:

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

Flip:

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

This is in the slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Hence, our slope m is 1/2 and our y-intercept b is 1.
