This linear function:
f%28x%29+=+mx+%2B+b
May be graphed on the x%2C+y+plane as this equation:
y+=+mx+%2B+b
This equation is called the slope-intercept+form for a line.
The graph of this equation is+a+straight+line.
The slope of the line is+m.
The line crosses the y-axis at b.
The point where the line crosses the y-axis is called the y-intercept.
The x%2C+y coordinates for the y-intercept are+0,+b.
Since b+=+0, the y-intercept is+0, 0.
slope is m+=+1%2F2

now you can convert+it in standard form:
