Question

How do you graph `y=-1/2x +b`?

Answer 1

see explanation.

Explanation:

For `y=-=1/2x+b` the `y`-intercept is `(0,b)`, which is a pretty generic point that depends on the value of `b`.

The slope of the line is `-1/2` so if `x` increases by 2, `y` must decrease by 1.

To graph this line, plot the point `(0,b)` and find a second point at `(2,b-1)`, draw your line through those points.
