Slope - intercept form of a line is:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
.
Starting with (I'll assume you mean):
+-%281%2F2%29x+%2B+%281%2F2%29y=5+
Start, by multiplying both sides by 2:
+-x+%2B+y=10+
Now, add x to both sides:
+y=x%2B10+
That's it you're done.
m is 1
b is 10 or at (0,10)
