The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

where

m = slope

c = y intercept

The given equation is expressed as

-1/2x + y = 10

To make it look like the slope intercept form shown above, we would add 1/2x to both sides of the equation. We have

-1/2x + 1/2x + y = 10 + 1/2x

y = 10 + 1/2x

By rearranging the right side of the equation,

y = 1/2x + 10

The slope intercept form is

y = 1/2x + 10
