Answer:

The given equation 1 - x - 2y = -6 is in standard form, and can be converted to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) by solving for y.

To do this, we first add x and 2y to both sides of the equation to get:

1 + x + 2y = -6

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get:

(1/2) + (1/2)x + y = -3

Finally, we rearrange the equation to get:

y = -(1/2)x - 3

Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form is y = -(1/2)x - 3.
