y - 2 = -(1/2)(x - 1) (slope intercept)
the final answer needs to be in standard form
-----------------------------------------------
Multiply both sides by 2 to get:
2y - 4 = -x + 1
---
2y + x = 5
------------
Standard Form: x + 2y = 5

Given:
Expand/distribute: (isolate "y")
-->It follows Slope-intercept Form, where &
Standard Form then--->, Multiply by "2" to eliminate fraction: 2((1/2)x+y-2.5=0)=, Answer
Okay, we'll graph it to see:
Let fy=0---->
---> cross multiply:

let fx=0---->
We'll see the graph:

Thank you,
