what is the graph for the intercept form y=-1/2x-1
---------
The slope = -1/2 which means "as x increases by 2, y decreases by 1".
----------
Put your pencil at the intercept (0,-1)
Now move it 2 to the right, then 1 down; put a point there at (2,-2)
----------------
Draw a line thru the two points.
That is the graph you want.
