y-3=1/2(x+2)

To find the y-intercept, we must first get the equation in slope intercept form. Start off by distributing 1/2 into the parentheses.

y-3= 1/2x+1
Add 3 to both sides

y= 1/2x+4

The slope is whatever is in front of x, in this case, 1/2. The y-intercept is the number after that which would be 4
