Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 3 is in this form

with slope m = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and y - intercept c = 3

the answer is B. because the formula for slope is y=mx+b and m is the slope and b is the y-intercept so if you look at your equation you are able to classify the slope as -1/2 and the y- intercept as 3
