y=%28-1%2F2%29x%2B%285%2F2%29 ---------> this follows Slope-Intercept form, y=mx%2Bb
Slope=m=%28-1%2F2%29 & Yintercept=%285%2F2%29
f%28y%29=0
%281%2F2%29x=5%2F2 --->cross%281%2F2%29x%2Fcross%281%2F2%29=%285%2F2%29%2F%281%2F2%29
x=%285%2Fcross%282%29%29%28cross%282%29%2F1%29=5, x-intercept

y=-1/2x+5/2
y=-x/2+2.5
The line equation is:
Y=mX+b where m=slope & b=y intercept.
This line has a slope(m)=-1/2 & a y intercept (b)=2.5.
