Answer:

y = ½x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for the line to be formatted in the y = mx + b format.

m is the slope of the line
b is the y intercept

For this question, the slope is 1/2, for every 1 unit the line goes up (rise), it goes 2 units forward (run). The y intercept is -3, hence the equation of the line is y = ½x - 3.

Answer:

$\bigl(\frac{3}{2},-5\bigr)$

or in decimal form

$(1.5,-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of the line with endpoints $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $\bigl(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\bigr)$ . just take the average between the points
