The equation given is \( y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2 \).

In this equation, the general form is \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) represents the slope and \( b \) represents the y-intercept.

From the equation:

  • Slope \( (m) = -\frac{1}{2} \)
  • Y-Intercept \( (b) = 2 \)

Therefore, the correct answer is: Slope: -1/2 Y-Intercept: 2.
