Find the Slope and y-intercept y+1/2x=0

$y + \frac{1}{2} x = 0$

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Simplify the left side.

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $x$ .

$y + \frac{x}{2} = 0$

Subtract $\frac{x}{2}$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = - \frac{x}{2}$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{1}{2} x)$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{1}{2} x$

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = - \frac{1}{2}$

$b = 0$

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $- \frac{1}{2}$

y-intercept: $(0, 0)$

Slope: $- \frac{1}{2}$

y-intercept: $(0, 0)$
