y = 1/2x - 1/2

To express the equation x - 2y = 1 in
slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where
m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you need to isolate y.
x - 2y = 1
Subtract x from both sides:
-2y = -x +1
Divide both sides by -2 to solve for y:
у = 1/2x - 1/2
So, x - 2y = 1 in slope-intercept form is
у = 1/2x - 1/2
