You should have posed the question:

If the slope of a line is 1/2 and the y-coordinate of the y-intercept is -2, what is the linear equation in the slope-intercept form? That is because a -intercept is a point that must be represented by an ordered pair (in ), and is typically rendered as .



is the slope-intercept form of a line where the slope is and the -coordinate of the -intercept is .

Just substitute whatever values you like for and .
