Answer:

Option 1: y + 5 = ½(x - 2)

Explanation:

First, you need to find the slope. the formula to find the slope from two points is
(y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1)) and if you plug in the points it will be
(-4 - (-5))/(4 - 2) which is
(1)/(2).

point-slope form is
y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1)). m is slope and x₁ and y₁ is (2, -5).

plugging in the numbers will be y + 5 = ½(x - 2)
