Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

If y = -4, then we must replace every variable y with the number 4. So, let's do that.

2/-4 + 1/2*(-4 + 6)

All we have to do now, is simplify. Parenthesis first...

2/-4 + 1/2*2

We can replace the 1/2*2 with 2/2 because they are the same thing.

2/-4 + 2/2

Now, solve from left to right.

-0.5 + 1 = 0.5

Therefore, the answer is equal to 0.5. Hope this helps!
