We need to use slope-intercept form to solve this problem $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We are given that $\"m=1%2F2\"$ and the y-intercept is $\"-5\"$
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then we just plug in those values and end up with:
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%281%2F2%29x-5\"$
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps! \n" ); document.write( "
