Answer:

y = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept b is given by


y=mx+b

Now in our case, m = 0 and b = -1/2; therefore, the above equation becomes


y=(0)x+(-(1)/(2))

which simplifies to give


\boxed{y=-(1)/(2).}

which is the equation for our line.
