Solution:

Given:


y=(1)/(2)x+4

Using the equation of a line in slope-intercept form;


\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ where; \\ m\text{ is the slope} \\ b\text{ is the y-intercept} \end{gathered}

Hence, comparing the given equation;


\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(2)x+4 \\ y=mx+b \\ m=(1)/(2) \\ b=4 \\ \\ Hence,\text{ the slope of the line is }(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Therefore, OPTION B is the correct answer.
