Answer: y = [tex]\frac{1}{2} x[/tex] - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
- The equation for a line is in the form y = mx + b, where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
- Since the slope is 0.5 (which is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]), we can plug that value in for "m": y = [tex]\frac{1}{2} x[/tex] + b
- Since the line goes through -3 on the y-axis, that is the y-intercept. So, we can just plug in that value for "b": y = [tex]\frac{1}{2} x[/tex] - 3
- And there's your answer: y = [tex]\frac{1}{2} x[/tex]-3
