Question

Find the slope-
y=(-1/2)x + 1

Answer 1

y=(-1/2)x + 1 is in the form y = mx+b

do you see what the value of m is?

Answer 2

y = mx+ b

m = slope
b = y-intercept

Answer 3

-1/2 is your slope.

Answer 4

The slope is just 1/2?

Answer 5

-1/2

Answer 6

m = -1/2

b = 1

Answer 7

so if the equation is x - 2y = -8, does that make 2 the slope?

Answer 8

no you would need to get it into y = mx+b form first

Answer 9

is it 1/2?

Answer 10

you are correct, solving for y gives you

y = 1/2x + 4

Answer 11

m = 1/2

b = 4
