Answer 2

`y=(1)/(2)x+9`

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form:

`y=mx+b`

Plug in the slope:

`y=(1)/(2)x+b`

Solve for b, the y-intercept, given the point (-8,5):

`5=(1)/(2)(-8)+b`

`5=-4+b`

`9=b`

Therefore, the equation
`y=(1)/(2)x+9` produces a line with a slope of
`m=(1)/(2)` and passes through the point
`(-8,5)`
