-1/2x+y=10 in slope intercept form

Solution

To rewrite the equation 12x+y=10-\frac{1}{2}x + y = 10 in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+by = mx + b where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept, we just need to solve for yy.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Starting equation:
    12x+y=10-\frac{1}{2}x + y = 10
  2. Add 12x\frac{1}{2}x to both sides to isolate yy: y=12x+10y = \frac{1}{2}x + 10

So, the equation in slope-intercept form is: y=12x+10y = \frac{1}{2}x + 10

Here, the slope m=12m = \frac{1}{2} and the y-intercept b=10b = 10.
