$slope = \frac{1}{2}$ $"slope "=1/2$

Explanation:

$the equation of a line in slope-intercept form$ $"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"$ is.

$∙ x y = m x + b$ $•color(white)(x)y=mx+b$

$where m is the slope and b the y-intercept$ $"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"$

$rearrange - 2 x + 4 y = 6 into this form$ $"rearrange "-2x+4y=6" into this form"$

$add 2 x to both sides$ $"add "2x" to both sides"$

$4 y = 2 x + 6$ $4y=2x+6$

$divide all terms by 4$ $"divide all terms by 4"$

$y = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{3}{2} \leftarrow in slope-intercept form$ $y=1/2x+3/2larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"$

$with slope = \frac{1}{2}$ $"with slope "=1/2$
