To solve the exercise you can use the point-slope formula, that is,


\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ \text{ Where m is the slope of the line and} \\ (x_1,y_1)\text{ is a point through which the line passes} \end{gathered}

So, in this case, you have


\begin{gathered} m=(1)/(2) \\ (x_1,y_1)=(4,3) \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ \text{ Replace} \\ y-3=(1)/(2)(x-4) \\ y-3=(1)/(2)x-(1)/(2)\cdot4 \\ y-3=(1)/(2)x-2 \\ \text{ Add 3 from both sides of the equation} \\ y-3+3=(1)/(2)x-2+3 \\ y=(1)/(2)x+1 \end{gathered}

Then,
