Answer:

y=(x/2)+5

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept form. To get that, we need y by itself so we have to add 3x to both sides: 6y=30+3x. Now we divide by 6 and rearrange the right side: y=(3x+30)/6.

y = (3x/6)+(30/6) => y = (x/2)+5. We also know that the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is 5 because of the slope-intercept equation.
