Answer: y= 1/2x + -5

Step-by-step explanation: slope is 1/2 because the line is going up one and over 2 (rise over run), the y intercept is -5 because that is where the line hits on the y axis

Answer:

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

Explanation:

Use rise over run to find the slope, which will get you 1/2 as the slope

The y-intercept is at (0, -5) so put -5 in the equation
