Question 537271: What is the slope of the equation:
2y-x=37

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve for y


2y-x=37


2y=x+37


y = 1/2x+37/2


So after solving for y, we get


and we can see the equation is in y = mx+b form where m is the slope. Since m = 1/2, the slope is 1/2 (one-half)
