Answer:

The slope is 1/4 and the y intercept is 2

Explanation:

2y = ½ x + 4

We want to get the equation in the slope intercept form for a line

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

So we need to divide the equation by 2

2y/2 = ½ x/2 + 4/2

y = 1/4 x +2

The slope is 1/4 and the y intercept is 2
