do graphing using slope and a point. The problem is (3,-2); m=1/2
-----------------
Plot a point at (3,-2)
---
The slope = 1/2 means y increases 1 when x increases 2.
----
From (3,-2) move your pencil 2 to the right to (5,-2)
Then move your pencil 1 up to (5,-1).
Put a point at (5,-1)
----
Draw a line thru (3,-2),(5,-1).
That is the equation you want.
