Answer:

y = 1/2x -2

Explanation:

The 2-point form of the equation for a line is useful for answering questions like this.

y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1 . . equation of a line through (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

Filling in the given points, the equation becomes ...

y = (-4 -(-5))/(-4 -(-6))/(x -(-6)) -5

y = 1/2(x +6) -5

y = 1/2x -2
