Answer:

I dont know what options you have but all these are possible answers

y - 5 = 1/2 ( x - 4 )

y - 3 = 1/2 x

y = 1/2 x + 3

Explanation:

In order to find the equation you need a slope, so you find the slope of both points by using the slope equstion

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

and you would get :


(1)/(2)

now you plug it into the point slope formula which is y - y = m ( x - x )

and you choose one of the two sets of points that they provided in the question but you'll get the same answer either way.
