Answer:

y=1/2x-2

Explanation:

Slope int. Form is y=mx+b.

Knowing this, we find the slope either using rise/run or or the slope formula. y2-y1/x2-x1

using rise/run, we rise up 1 unit and run over 2 units to the right.

So mx=1/2x.

Then finding the y-intercept we look at the y-axis and look for where the graph intersects the y-axis. In this case the y intercept is already plotted at (0,-2). So b=-2.

Put all of our information together and receive the equation y=1/2x-2.

-Hope this helped
