Write in Standard Form y=1/2x+1

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

The standard form of a linear equation is $A x + B y = C$ .

Multiply both sides by $2$ .

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

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $2 (\frac{1}{2} x + 1)$ .

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $x$ .

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

Apply the distributive property.

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

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

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

Rewrite the expression.

$2 y = x + 2 \cdot 1$

Multiply $2$ by $1$ .

$2 y = x + 2$

Rewrite the equation.

$x + 2 = 2 y$

Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $2 y$ from both sides of the equation.

$x + 2 - 2 y = 0$

Move $2$ .

$x - 2 y + 2 = 0$

Subtract $2$ from both sides of the equation.

$x - 2 y = - 2$
