If the y-intercept = 1/2, it means that one of the points on the line is (0, 1/2).

So, the point-intercept form will be y - 1/2 = 2x which makes the slope-intercept form:

y = 2x + 1/2

Hey there!
Our slope intercept form equation is:
y = mx + b
With m being the slope and b as the y-intercept.
We leave the x and y alone because they're the independent and dependent variables.
Let's plug in our values:
y = 2x + 1/2
That's out equation.
Hope this helps!
