Slope is $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$
y-intercept is $(0, - 3)$ $(0,-3)$

The slope intercept formula for the equation of a line is
$y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$

Where $m$ $m$ is the slope and $b$ $b$ is the y value of the point of the intercept.

For the equation $y = \frac{1}{2} x - 3$ $y=1/2x -3$

$m = \frac{1}{2}$ $m = 1/2$
$b = - 3$ $b=-3$

Making the slope $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ and the point of the y-intercept is $(0, - 3)$ $(0,-3)$

What is the slope and y-intercept of the line Y=12x−3Y=1/2x-3?
