Slope: #1/2#
#y#-intercept: #0#

Explanation:

From the equation, the coefficient of #x# is always your slope. So from the equation you will get the slope as #1/2#.

From the equation, the number behind the #x# is always the #y#-intercept. Since this equation has no number behind the #x#, so the intercept is #0#.
