Answer:

y=(-1/2)x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a line with the following properties:

• Slope = -1/2

,

• y-intercept = -6

We find the equation of the line using the slope-intercept form:


y=mx+b\text{ where}\begin{cases}m=\text{Slope} \\ b=y-\text{intercept}\end{cases}

Substitute the given values:


y=-(1)/(2)x-6

The equation of the line is y=(-1/2)x-6.
