Question

How do you write `x-2y=2` in `y=mx+b` form?

Answer 1

We start off by transposing x to the Right Hand Side

`-2y= x + 2`

We can then divide both sides by `-2`

`(cancel(-2)y)/cancel(2)= (x + 2)/2`

`y = x/2 + 2/2`

`color(green)(y = (1/2)*x + 1`

The Slope of this line is `1/2` and it's Y intercept is `1`. It's graph will look like this:

graph{y = (1/2)*x + 1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
