The equation you provided, \( y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 5 \), is in slope-intercept form, which is \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.
In this case:
- The slope \( m \) is \(-\frac{1}{2}\), which means the line decreases by 1 unit for every increase of 2 units in \( x \).
- The y-intercept \( b \) is 5, which means the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 5).
