The given equation is in the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.

From the equation \(y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2\):

  • The slope \(m\) is \(-\frac{1}{2}\).
  • The y-intercept \(b\) is \(2\).

So, the correct answer is:

Slope: -1/2 Y-Intercept: 2
