Math Problem Statement

x+2y-1=0

Solution

The given equation is:

x+2y1=0x + 2y - 1 = 0

To analyze and work with this equation, you can:

Solve for xx:

Rearrange the equation to isolate xx: x=12yx = 1 - 2y

Solve for yy:

Rearrange the equation to isolate yy: 2y=1xy=1x22y = 1 - x \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = \frac{1 - x}{2}

Interpretation:

This is a linear equation representing a straight line in a two-dimensional coordinate system. The slope-intercept form of the line is: y=12x+12y = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{2} where:

  • Slope (mm) = 12-\frac{1}{2}
  • Y-intercept (bb) = 12\frac{1}{2}

  2. How do you find the x-intercept of this line?
  3. Can you determine if two given points lie on this line?
  4. How would you write the equation if it passed through a specific point and had a given slope?
  5. How does this line interact with another line (e.g., finding intersection points)?

Tip:

When analyzing a line, always rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form to easily understand its properties!
