PLEASE HELP ME IM DESPERATE

Andrews [41]

Answer:

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - $\frac{1}{2}$ , thus

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c , substitute (4, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 2 = - 3

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 3 ← equation of line
