<h2>Answer:   
y =  - ¹/₂ x    OR  y - 1 = - ¹/₂ (x + 2)   </h2>
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:  </h3>
         For us to write the equation for this line, we need to (1) find the slope of the line, and (2) use one of the points to write an equation:  
        The question gives us two points, (-2, 1) and (-8, 4), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.
<u>Finding the Slope  </u>
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)    
                                          =  (4 - 1) ÷ (-8 - (-2))  
                                          =   - ¹/₂  
<u>Finding the Equation</u>  
We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:
                                  ⇒  y - 1 =   - ¹/₂ (x - (-2))
                                   ∴  y - 1 = - ¹/₂ (x + 2)
   we could also transform this into the slope-intercept form ( y = mx + c)  
                                    since  y - 1 = - ¹/₂ (x + 2)
                                            ⇒     y =  - ¹/₂ x
