The graph above shows the line for the equation $y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 3$. You can see the y-intercept at the point $(0, -3)$ and another point on the line at $(2, -4)$, which is determined using the slope of $-\frac{1}{2}$.

Would you like more details on how the slope and intercept are used, or do you have any other questions?

Tip: Remember, the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis (where $x = 0$), and the slope tells you how steep the line is!
