standard form is
ax+by=c
soo y=1/2x+7
ax should be 1/2x, by is y, and c is 7
so all we have to do is subtract 1/2x from each side of the original equation
-1/2x+y=7
now, slope-intercept form of an equation is y=mx+b
first, let us get y in one side
add -3x from each side
-3y=2-3x
now, divide every term by -3 to isolate y.
y=-2/3+x
rearrage it a bit to put it in the form:
y=x-2/3
