Answer:

y = (1/2) x + 3

Explanation:

The equation of linear functions is y = m x + b

In this case, we know m = 1/2 , and have point (4,5). We only need to find our y-intercept or b value.

What we can do is substitute what we know into our formula which will give us variable b, or the y-intercept. That will look like:

5 = (1/2) * 4 + b

5 = 2 + b

3 = b

So, the equation is y = (1/2) x + 3 :)
