Answer:

y=1/2x-3

Step-by-step explanation: given: (0,-3) (2,-2)

y=mx+b

-3=(m*0)+b

-3=b

-2= (m*2)-3

1=2m

m=1/2

y=mx+b

y=1/2x-3

Answer:


y=(1)/(2)x-3

Explanation:

The equation of a line is y=mx+c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis).

Looking at the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at y=-3, so we know c= -3.

The slope of a line can be found by taking two points on the line,
(x_(1),y_(1)) and
(x_(2),y_(2)), and subbing them into the formula
m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1)). Let's take the two points (2,-2) and (4:


m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))=((-1)-(-2))/(4-2)=(1)/(2)

Therefore, since the equation of a line is y=mx+c, our answer is
y=(1)/(2)x-3
