**Graph the Line with the Equation**

Graph the line with the equation \( y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2 \).

**Graph Explanation:**

The graph displays a Cartesian coordinate plane with both the x-axis and y-axis labeled. The x-axis ranges from -10 to 10, and the y-axis ranges from -10 to 10. The instructions are to plot the line based on the given linear equation, which features:

- **Slope**: \(-\frac{1}{2}\), indicating the line descends half a unit vertically for each unit it moves horizontally.
- **Y-intercept**: \(2\), meaning the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 2).

The objective is to draw the line starting from the y-intercept and using the slope to determine the direction and angle of the line on the plane.
