The slope of the line is 0 because it'll be a straight horizontal line with a y-intercept of 1/2.

0

Explanation:

Slope is defined by "rise"/"run"

First, let's graph y = 1/2:

As you can see, y = 1/2 is a horizontal line, as the x value is always constant, it never changes.

Everytime a graph is a horizontal line, that means the slope is 0. The reason behind this is because "rise"/"run" would mean 0/1, which equals 0.

Therefore, the slope is 0.

Hope this helps!
