Answer:

x = y/2 - 1/2

Explanation:

you can use the slope-intercept form of a line first, then change to terms of 'x'

y = mx + b where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept

if we use two points on the line, such as (-1, -1) (0, 1), we can find the slope

m = 1-(-1) / 0-(-1)

m = 2/1

b = 1

Slope-Intercept form: y = 2x + 1

in terms of 'x':

2x = y - 1

x = y/2 - 1/2
