Question

find the slope and Y intercept of X - 2y - 1 = 0

Answer 1

Here is your answer.......

Answer 2

$\textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}$

.............................................................................................

.

Slope-intercept equation : y = mx + c

.

x - 2y - 1 = 0 (Given)

We will rearrange the equation to y = mx + c format, and then match the m for the slope and c for the y-intercept.

.

..............................................................................................

STEP 1: Rearrange the equation:

x - 2y - 1 = 0

subtract x on both sides:

-2y - 1 = -x

Add 1 to both sides:

-2y = -x + 1

Divide both sides by -2

y = 1/2 x - 1/2

..............................................................................................

.

STEP 2: Find the slope and y-intercept:

Matching y = 1/2 x - 1/2 with y = mx + c, we can conclude that:

Slope = m = 1/2

y-intercept = c = -1/2

.

Answer: The slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is -1/2
