Slope: $\frac{1}{2} XXX$ $1/2color(white)("XXX")$ y-intercept: $0$ $0$

Explanation:

The general slope-intercept form is
$XXX y = n x + b$ $color(white)("XXX")y=color(green)(n)x+color(blue)(b)$
with slope $m$ $color(green)(m)$ and y-intercept $b$ $color(blue)(b)$

$y = \frac{1}{2} x$ $y=1/2x$
and be written explicitly in slope intercept form as
$XXX y = \frac{1}{2} x + 0$ $color(white)("XXX")y=color(green)(1/2)x+color(blue)(0)$
with slope $\frac{1}{2}$ $color(green)(1/2)$ and y-intercept $0$ $color(blue)(0)$
