Write the standard form of the line that contains a slope of -1/2 and y-intercept of 1. Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution.

the slope intercept form would be y= -1/2x + 1 and to get it into standard form all you have to do is move the -1/2 x to the other side, making it 1/2x + y = 1

Answer:

Person above did the standard form wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = -1/2.

y-intercept = 1.

slope-intercept form : y = 1/2x + 1.

standard form : x + 2y = 2.

In standard form, there can't be any fraction. So, you have to get rid of it by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of -1/2 which is -2. then that's what you get. Your final answer will have ax as negative which is not allowed so you multiply all sides with -1 and are left with x + 2y =2.
