Answer:

Explanation:

y + 3 = 1/2(x + 3)

y + 3 = 1/2x + 3/2

y + 6/2 = 1/2x + 3/2

y = 1/2x - 3/2

Answer:

y= 1/2x-3/2

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

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

y = 1/2x+b

Using the point for x and y we can find b

-3 = 1/2(-3)+b

-3 = -3/2 +b

-6/2 = -3/2+b

Add 3/2 to each side

-6/2 +3/2 = b

-3/2 = b

y= 1/2x-3/2
