Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"note that "x/2=1/2x#
#"rearrange "1/2x-4y=6" into this form"#
#"add "4y" to both sides"#
#1/2xcancel(-4y)cancel(+4y)=4y+6#
#rArr1/2x=4y+6#
#"subtract 6 from both sides"#
#1/2x-6=4y#
#"divide all terms by 4"#
#rArr1/8x-3/2=ylarrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#

Explanation:
To get rid of the denominator, let's multiply every term by
Next, let's subtract
Dividing both sides by
This equation is in slope-intercept form,
Hope this helps!
