The expression y = 1/2x + 6 is written in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) where m equals the slope and b equals the y-intercept. In this equation m = 1/2 and b = 6. So, the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is 6. The y-intercept is going to be on y-axis, so, its going to be written as (0, 6). The only option that is correct is [ The slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is at the point (0,6) ]

Best of Luck!
