The equation you provided is in the form of a linear equation:

\[
y = 0.5x + 3
\]

This represents a straight line where:
- The slope (or gradient) is **0.5**. This means for every 1 unit increase in \(x\), \(y\) increases by 0.5.
- The **y-intercept** is 3. This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (i.e., when \(x = 0\), \(y = 3\)).

### Key Points:
- Slope = \(0.5\)
- y-intercept = \(3\)

Would you like me to graph this equation for you or explore more details about how to interpret the slope and intercept?

### Related Questions:
1. How would the graph of this line look compared to a line with a slope of 1?
2. What does the slope represent in a real-world context?
3. How do we find the x-intercept of this line?
4. Can you solve for \(x\) when \(y = 0\)?
5. How would the equation change if the slope were negative?

### Tip: 
To find where the line crosses the x-axis, set \(y = 0\) and solve for \(x\).
