Slope intercept form: y = mx + b y= answer, y-value m=slope x= independent variable, x-value b= y-intercept (0,b)
x-2y=4 1. Isolate 2y by adding x to both sides of the equation: 2y = 4+x 2. Isolate y by dividing 2 to both sides of the equation: y = 2+(1/2)x 3. Rearrange in slope intercept form. y=(1/2)x + 2
