Answer:

y = -1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A line in slope-intercept form in y = mx + b

"m" is the slope

"b" is the y-intercept

x and y represent points on the graph

To write an equation, you need "m" and "b".

We already know m = -1/2

The point (0, 2) is the y-intercept. The y-intercept occurs when x = 0.

Points are in the form (x , y), so x = 0 and y = 2.

Therefore b = 2.

Substitute m = -1/2 and b = 2 into the equation:

y = mx + b

y = -1/2x + 2
