Need help with this problem

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-4)}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)}) \implies y +4= \cfrac{1}{2} (x +2) \\\\\\ y+4=\cfrac{1}{2}x+1\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=\cfrac{1}{2}x-3 \end{array}}`
