Answer:

y = 1/2x - 4

Explanation:

You would use point slope to solve this. y-y = m(x-x) with your numbers it would look like this ---> y+3 = 1/2(x-2). (I changed it to +3 because y- -3 = y+3. Two negatives make a positive.) Next you would use the distributive property and it would look like this ---> y+3 = 1/2x - 1 -----> -3 on both sides ------->

y = 1/2x - 4. Hope this helped!!!!
