Answer: Y = 1/2x - 3

Explanation:

in this equation, the Y intercept is -3, which is where the line crosses the Y axis. therefore, in the Y = mx + b formula, B = -3

The slope is the rate of change, or steepness of the line. Which is represented by M. In this case, if you count the spaces up and to the right/left from one point to another, you'll find the slope, which is Rise/Run. So, in this case it is 1/2.
