Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)

y = -3/2x - 1/2

b = -1/2

To locate the y-intercept on the graph, find the point where the line crosses through the y-axis or the y-value when x = 0

I can't see the graph but hopefully this information helps you find the answer
