The slope is $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ and the intercept is $(0, 0)$ $(0,0)$ .

Explanation:

The slope is whatever number is next to $x$ $x$ and the intercept is other the number that is either added or subtracted from the $x$ $x$ term. Just remember

$y = m x + b$ $y = mx+b$

The slope is $m$ $m$ as a fraction and the intercept is $(0, b)$ $(0,b)$ .

So for example, if you have

$y = 4 x + 7$ $y=4x+7$

the slope would be $\frac{4}{1}$ $4/1$ (rise $4$ $4$ , run $1$ $1$ ) and the intercept would be $(0, 7)$ $(0,7)$ .
