Answer:

B

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = -
(1)/(2), thus

y = -
(1)/(2) x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 6, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 3 = - 1

y = -
(1)/(2) x - 1 → B
