The equation is y = (1/2)x + 2.

Compare the equation with slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

slope = 1/2 and y-intercept is 2.

y-intercept is 2, so the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 2)

Using slope find the next point.

Slope = rise/run = 1/2

Start at point (0, 2), move 1 unit up and 2 units right, then plot the point (2, 3).

Draw a line through these points.
