Write each equation in slope-intercept form of the equation of a line. Underline the slope and circle the y-intercept in each equation.
2x+y=1
The slope-intercept form is
The slope is
The y-intercept is
All you have to do is subtract 2x from both sides to get
y = -2x + 1
You MUST know what m and b represent in
y = mx + b
It's called the slope-intercept form for a reason.
google it or look in your textbook.

helen, sis why you be tryin to cheat like,
To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y.
Starting with the equation 2x + y = 1, let's isolate y:
1. Subtract 2x from both sides:
2x - 2x + y = 1 - 2x
y = -2x + 1
Now, we have the equation in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
In this case, the slope is -2 and the y-intercept is 1.
So, to summarize:
The slope-intercept form is y = -2x + 1
The slope is -2
The y-intercept is 1
