slope and y int.?

Question

what would be the slope and y intercept of this equation-


y-x/2-1

Answer 1

The Slope-Intercept form is:
y = mx + b
Assuming the first negative sign should have been an equal sign:
y = x/2 - 1
y = (1/2)x - 1
m = 1/2
b = -1
The line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, -1).

Answer 2

y - x/2 - 1 is not an equation.
If you meant y = x/2 -1, then the slope is 1/2
and the x intercept is -1.
The y intercept is when x = 0, which gives y = -1.
If the equation is y - x/2 - 1 = 0
then y = x/2 + 1, giving slope 1/2 and x intercept 1.
This gives a y intercept of 1.

Answer 3

Transform the equation by adding stuff around into:

y=x/2+1

Linear plots all take the form of y=mx+b, so:

m(slope) = 0.5
b(y intercept) = 1

Answer 4

y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept

so, m = 1/2, and b = -1
