A straight line with slope of $1/2$ and y-intercept of $2$

The equation of a straight line with slope $(m)$ and y-intercept $(c)$ form is:

$y=mx+c$

In this example: $y=1/2x+2$

So, $m=1/2$ and $c=2$

Thus the graph of $y$ is a straight line with slope of $1/2$ and y-intercept of $2$ as below.

graph{x/2+2 [-5.207, 5.893, -1, 4.55]}
