Slope $m = - \frac{1}{2}$ $m=-1/2$
Y-intercept $(0, 6)$ $(0, 6)$
X intercept $(12, 0)$ $(12, 0)$

Given -

$y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 6$ $y=-1/2x+6$

Slope $m = - \frac{1}{2}$ $m=-1/2$
Y-intercept $c = 6$ $c=6$
X-intercept

Put $y = 0$ $y=0$

$- \frac{1}{2} x + 6 = 0$ $-1/2x+6=0$
$- \frac{1}{2} x = - 6$ $-1/2x=-6$
$x = - 6 \times (- 2) = 12$ $x=-6 xx (-2)=12$

Given the equation y=−12x+6y=-1/2x+6, what is the slope, y and x intercept?
