Answer
The slope is $m=2$ .
The $y$-intercept is $-2$.
Refer to the graph below.
Work Step by Step
Multiply $2$ to both sides of the equation to obtain an equivalent equation:
$2\left(\frac{1}{2}y\right)=2(x-1)$
$y=2x-2$
In a line's equation in slope-intercept form, which is $y=mx+b$, the constant $b$ is the $y$-intercept while the coefficient of $x$, which is $m$, is the slope.
Thus, in $y=2x-2$ we have:
$y$-intercept is $-2$
slope=$m=2$.
Plot the point $(0, -2)$.
The slope is $2$ so from $(0, -2)$, move $1$ unit to the right and $2$ units upward to have $(1, 0)$.
Connect the points using a straight line.
