"x-intercept " = -1/2, " y-intercept " = 1x-intercept =12, y-intercept =1

Explanation:

-2x + y = 12x+y=1

When y = 0, -2x = 1 " or x-intercept " = -1/22x=1 or x-intercept =12

Similarly, when x = 0, y = 1 " or y-intercept " = 1y=1 or y-intercept =1

Now we can plot two points (x_1, y_1) = (-1/2, 0), (x_2,y_2) = (0,1)(x1,y1)=(12,0),(x2,y2)=(0,1) on a graph sheet to get the the line.
