Answer:
y = 1/2x - 2
Explanation:
you can use the point-slope formula, which is y = mx + b
'y' can represent -6
'x' can represent -8
'm' represents the slope of 1/2
we can plug these values into the formula to find 'b' (which is the y-intercept)
-6 = -8(1/2) + b
-6 = -4 + b
add 4 to each side and the value of 'b' is -2
now fill in the slope and y-intercept to get the equation
