Step 1.1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 1.2

Simplify the left side.

Step 1.2.1

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $y$ .

$x + \frac{y}{2} = 2$

Step 1.3

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{y}{2} = 2 - x$

Step 1.4

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$ .

$2 \frac{y}{2} = 2 (2 - x)$

Step 1.5

Step 1.5.2.1.2.1

Multiply $2$ by $2$ .

$y = 4 + 2 (- x)$

Step 1.5.2.1.2.2

Multiply $- 1$ by $2$ .

$y = 4 - 2 x$

Step 1.6

Reorder $4$ and $- 2 x$ .

$y = - 2 x + 4$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is $4$ .

$b = 4$

Step 3
