Answer:

y=-1/2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Well we know that the slope is -1/2 so we can write the equation like this:

y=-1/2x+b (This is because of y=mx+b) (m is slope) (b is y-intercept)

Now we can replace the y and x with -4 and -3 because of (x,y). (-4,-3) x is -4 and y is -3

-3=-1/2(-4)+b

-3=2+b

Subtract 2 on both side:

-2-3=2-2+b

-5=b

Answer:

y=-1/2x-5

Hope this helps!
