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

Explanation:

y = mx + by=mx+b
y = 1/2y=12

00

Explanation:

Slope is defined by "rise"/"run"riserun

First, let's graph y = 1/2y=12:
enter image source here
(google.com)

As you can see, y = 1/2y=12 is a horizontal line, as the xx value is always constant, it never changes.

Everytime a graph is a horizontal line, that means the slope is 00. The reason behind this is because "rise"/"run"riserun would mean 0/101, which equals 00.

Therefore, the slope is 00.

Hope this helps!
