Answer:

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

Explanation:

In the formula y = mx + b, m =
(1)/(2), and b = -5, so all you have to do is plug it in the formula:
y = (1)/(2)x - 5

Answer:

y=1/2x-5

Explanation:

Basically (0,-5) stay at the origin and move down 5.

*Honestly I have no idea which letters to choose (a or c) because they made this really confusing but it is y=1/2x-5
