We have the following equation:


2y-x=-14

The above equation asks us to line into slope-intercept form, the pending-intercept form is:


y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b"| is the y-axis intercept.

So what we have to do is to find this form of our equation and to do that we clear "y".


\begin{gathered} 2y-x=-14 \\ 2y=x-14 \\ y=(x-14)/(2) \\ y=(x)/(2)-(14)/(2) \\ y=0.5x-7 \end{gathered}

In conclusion, the answer to the equation of a line into slope-intercept form is:


y=0.5x-7
