Plot y = -2x + 6 using a value table. Identify intercept and slope from y = 0.5x - 4

Step 1: Recall the slope-intercept form of a linear equation. The slope-intercept form is $y = mx + c$, where $m$ is the slope (gradient) and $c$ is the y-intercept.

Step 2: Compare the given equation with the slope-intercept form. The given equation is $y = 0.5x - 4$. By comparing this to $y = mx + c$: The slope $m$ is the coefficient of $x$. The y-intercept $c$ is the constant term.

Step 3: Identify the slope and y-intercept. From $y = 0.5x - 4$, we have: Slope ($m$) = $0.5$ Y-intercept ($c$) = $-4$

The slope is $\boxed{0.5}$ and the y-intercept is $\boxed{-4}$.
