Answer:

The equation of the line will be:

y=(1)/(2)x+2

Explanation:

Given the point

As the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

substituting the values m = 1/2 and the point (-4, 0)

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

$y-0=(1)/(2)\left(x-\left(-4\right)\right)$

$y=(1)/(2)\left(x-\left(-4\right)\right)$

$y=(1)/(2)\left(x+4\right)$

y=(1)/(2)x+(4)/(2)

y=(1)/(2)x+2

Therefore, the equation of the line will be:

y=(1)/(2)x+2
