Input in standard form the equation of the given line.

The line with m = - 1 / 2 and b = 1

In y = mx + b form, the slope will be in ur m position and the y intercept will be in the b position.

y = mx + b

slope (m) = - 1/2

y int (b) = 1

so ur equation is : y = - 1/2x + 1 ... but we need it in standard form

y = - 1/2x + 1 ... add 1/2 to both sides

1/2x + y = 1 ... cant have fractions, so multiply everything by 2

x + 2y = 2 < = = standard form

Y = mx + b; slope intercept form formula

y=-1/2x + b; just substitute the given
