Quick comprehension check

Given the linear equation y = 4x - 2, identify the slope and y-intercept. Then, graph the equation on a coordinate plane, showing the slope and y-intercept clearly. For the linear equation y = -½x + 3, determine the slope and y-intercept. After that, graph the equation on a coordinate plane, illustrating the slope and y-intercept.
