see explanation.

Explanation:

For #y=-=1/2x+b# the #y#-intercept is #(0,b)#, which is a pretty generic point that depends on the value of #b#.

The slope of the line is #-1/2# so if #x# increases by 2, #y# must decrease by 1.

To graph this line, plot the point #(0,b)# and find a second point at #(2,b-1)#, draw your line through those points.
