Answer:

An equation is


y = (1)/(2) x + 13

.

Explanation:

☆Since since we're given the slope, all we need to do is find the y-intercept.

☆The slope-intercept formula is: y = mx + b.

☆We are going to plug in according to the formula.


y = mx + b \\ \\ 10 = (1)/(2) ( - 6) + b \\ 10 = - 3 + b \\ ( + 3 = + 3 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: )/(13 = b \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: )

☆We have everything we need, so now we put it together.
