$y = \frac{1}{2} x - 3$

Step 1

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

$y = \frac{x}{2} - 3$

Step 2

A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be $0$ or $1$ for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable $y$ is $1$ and the degree of variable $x$ is $1$ .
