Question

If a line has the same slope and half the y-intercept of line x+y-3=0, how do you find the equation of that line in slope intercept form?

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

`x+y-3` can be written in slope intercept form as `y= (-1)x+3`

A line with the same slope will have a slope of `(-1)`
and with half the y-intercept will have a y-intercept of `3/2`
So that line's slope-intercept form will be
`color(white)("XXX")y=(-1)x+3/2`
