x%2B2y=1.....first, write it in slope-intercept form y=mx%2B-b:
2y=-x%2B1
y=-x%2F2%2B1%2F2
y=-%281%2F2%29x%2B1%2F2........the slope-intercept form; as you an see, m=-1%2F2 and b=1%2F2
points:
x-+intercept...if y=0}...->...0=-%281%2F2%29x%2B1%2F2..->...%281%2F2%29x=1%2F2...->...x=1
y-+intercept...if x=0}...->...y=-%281%2F2%290%2B1%2F2..->...y=1%2F2

now graph it
