Question

Can someone explain how to convert x - 2y = 7 into the y = m(x) +b format?

Answer 1

Yes :D

Answer 2

The first thing you want to do is get the y by itself by subtracting the x.

Answer 3

subtract x from both sides, then divide by -2

Answer 4

So now you have:

2y=-x+7

Answer 5

divide by two:

y+-x/2 + 7/2

Answer 6

thats an = after the y

Answer 7

:D

Answer 8

sorry: y=-x/2 + 7/2

Answer 9
