Question 125733


{{{x-2y=-4}}} Start with the given equation



{{{-2y=-4-x}}}  Subtract {{{ x}}} from both sides



{{{-2y=-x-4}}} Rearrange the equation



{{{y=(-x-4)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}}



{{{y=(-1/-2)x+(-4)/(-2)}}} Break up the fraction



{{{y=(1/2)x+2}}} Reduce




So the equation is now in slope-intercept form ({{{y=mx+b}}}) where the slope is {{{m=1/2}}} and the y-intercept is {{{b=2}}}
