Question 1126119: Need to make sure my calculation is correct.
need to take x+2y=8 into slope intercept form.
I came up with:
y= -1/2x+6
this then needs to be graphed so I will use:
m=-1/2 and b=6
Is this correct?
I believe it is, at least I hope, but I want to make sure.
Thank you!

Fix small arithmetic mistake.
x%2B2y=8
2y=-x%2B8
y=-%281%2F2%29x%2B4

Slope is 1%2F2 but y-intercept is 4, for point (0,4).
