Answer:

y =
(1)/(2) x + 7

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m =
(1)/(2) , then

y =
(1)/(2) x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 2, 6 ) into the partial equation

6 =
(1)/(2) (- 2) + c = - 1 + c ( add 1 to both sides )

7 = c

y =
(1)/(2) x + 7 ← equation of line
