Answer:

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

We are given m = 1/2

Plug the point (-4,-5) in for x and y and the given slope in for m.

y = mx + b

-5 = 1/2(-4) + b

Now solve for b.

-5 = -2 + b

b = -3

Now plug m and b back in to get your slope intercept form.

y = 1/2x -3

Hope this helps!
