Answer:

y = -
(1)/(2) x - 3

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 = -
(1)/(2) , thus

y = -
(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 = -
(1)/(2) x - 3 ← equation of line
