How does the half-life of zero order reaction relate to its rate constant?

For a zero-order reaction, the half-life depends upon the initial concentration of the reactant and the half-life becomes smaller when the reaction proceeds in the forward direction. Mathematically,

t1/2 = [Ao] / 2k


where k = rate constant.
