How to write y=-1/2x + 1 in standard form

Hey there!

The equation in y=mx+b is

To write in standard form, it would look like:

As you can see, the x and y should be on the same side. You will need to move to the other side. When moving a number/variable to the other side, the sign changes, therefore, the negative sign will be removed. It is also the same as adding the opposite of it to both sides.

In standard form, there are no fractions, only whole numbers. The fraction can be removed by multiplying it by its opposite. The opposite of is .

The entire equation has to be multiplied by 2:

Hope this helps!

answer: okw

step-by-step explanation:

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
