Question 1033999
the slope intercept form of the equation is y = mx + b
m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.


your equation is - (1/2 * x) + y = 4


add (1/2 * x) to both sides of the equation to get:


- (1/2 * x) + (1/2 * x) + y = 4 + (1/2 * x)


the - (1/2 * x) and the + (1/2 * x) on the left side of the equation cancel out and you are left with:


y = 4 + (1/2 * x)


re-order the terms on the right side of the equation in descending order of degree to get:


y = (1/2 * x) + 4


remove the parentheses to get:


y = 1/2 * x + 4


the equation is now in slope intercept form, where:


m = 1/2
b = 4
