=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

For now, let's call the y intercept b

We'll plug in x = 2 and y = 3 from the given point to find b

y = mx+b

y = (-1/2)x + b

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

3 = -1 + b

3+1 = b

4 = b

b = 4

The y intercept is 4

The equation of the line is y = (-1/2)x + 4
