Find the equation of the line that passing through (4, 3) and slope -0.50
----------
y - y1 = -0.5*(x - x1) where (x1,y1) is (4,3)

Use the general equation y= mx + b.
we need to find m and b.
m is the slope, so m =-0.5.
So if we replace the value of x = 4 then y = 3.
3 =-0.5(4) + b = -2 +b
b = 5
Answer the equation is y = -0.5x + 5
