#m = 1/2#

As it is written, the equation of the line actually mathces sloper-intercept form, which for a general line looks like this

#color(blue)(y = mx + b)" "#, where

#b# - the #y#-intercept;
#m# - the slope of the line.

Your equation is

#y = 1/2x#

As you can see, your line has #b = 0# and

#m = color(green)(1/2)#
