Answer

y=$\frac{1}{2}$x+1

Work Step by Step

The general equation for slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In order to put the given equation into slope intercept form, it is necessary to get 'y' by itself. 1. x-2y+3=1 2. Subtract 3 from each side : x-2y=-2 3. Subtract x from each side : -2y=-x-2 4. To get y by itself, divide both sides by -2 : y=$\frac{1}{2}$x+1
