Given the equation of the line:


y+2=(1)/(2)(x+20)

The slope-intercept form is: y = m * x + b

Where (m) is the slope

So, we will solve the given equation for (y)


\begin{gathered} y+2=(1)/(2)\cdot x+(1)/(2)\cdot20 \\ y+2=(1)/(2)x+10 \\ y=(1)/(2)x+10-2 \\ \\ y=(1)/(2)x+8 \end{gathered}

so, the answer will be the slope-intercept form:


y=(1)/(2)x+8
