Answer: y=0.5x-6. She forgot the y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation: use the slope formula to get the slope of 0.5 and just add in the y-intercept of -6 since:

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

Answer:

y = 0.5x - 6

Explanation:


since \: there \: are \: two \: points \: \\ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)


m = ( - 5 - ( - 7.5))/(2 - ( - 3)) = (2.5)/(5) = (1)/(2) \: or \: 0.5

Standard form of slope-intercept:

y = mx + b

wherein m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Let's substitute all values into the equation


y = 0.5x - 6
