See a solution process below:

Explanation:

This equation is in slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: #y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)#

Where #color(red)(m)# is the slope and #color(blue)(b)# is the y-intercept value.

#y = color(red)(1/2)x + color(blue)(0)#

Therefore, the slope is: #color(red)(m = 1/2)#
