Answer:
The answer to your question is y = 1/2x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Point = (-4, -9)
slope = m = 1/2
Process
To solve this problem, use the formula slope- y-coordinate, substitute the values and simplify.
Equation
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
x1 = -4
y1 = -9
-Substitution
y + 9 = 1/2 (x + 4)
-Simplification
y + 9 = 1/2x + 4/2
y = 1/2x + 2 - 9
-Result
y = 1/2x - 7
