Find the slope-intercept form of the line with the given slope and $y$-intercept. \[ \text { Slope }=-\frac{1}{2} ; y \text {-intercept }=\frac{1}{4} \] What is the equation of the line?

Step 1 ：The slope-intercept form of a line is given by the equation \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.

Step 2 ：In this case, we are given that \(m = -\frac{1}{2}\) and \(b = \frac{1}{4}\).

Step 3 ：We can substitute these values into the equation to find the equation of the line.

Step 4 ：Substituting the values we get \(y = -0.5x + 0.25\).

Step 5 ：Final Answer: The equation of the line is \(\boxed{y = -0.5x + 0.25}\).
