Slope of y = -(1/2)x + 4

What is the slope of y = -(1/2)x + 4 ?

---

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope {the coefficient of x....the rate of change of the line}
b is the y-intercept {the constant term...the number without a variable}

In y = -(1/2)x + 4,
slope = -1/2
y-intercept = 4
