Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (-1/2)x + 4 is the equation of a straight line with y-intercept (0, 4) and slope -1/2.

To graph this, first plot the y-intercept (0, 4).

Recall that slope m = rise / run, and notice that the slope in this particular case is -1/2 = rise / run, or rise = -1 and run = 2.

Starting with your pencil point on (0, 4), move the point 2 units to the right (run = 2), arriving at (2, 4).  Next, move your pencil point 1 unit down, to (2, 3).

Draw a straight line through (0, 4) and (2, 3).
