Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 1/2(y -3)

Explanation:

Begin by finding the slope using the slope formula:


m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

Plug in the coordinates:


m = (4-3)/(2-0)

Simplify:


m = (1)/(2)

Recall that point-slope form is:


(x-x_(1)) = m(y-y_(1))

Plug in the slope and coordinates into the equation:

(x - 0) = 1/2(y - 3)

x = 1/2(y -3)
