Answer: [tex]y = -\frac{1}{2} x -8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Going to build the equation in slope-intercept form, let me know if you need another form :)

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Simply plug in the slope for m to get: y = -1/2x + b.

Then simply plug in the point to get:

-6 = -1/2(-4) + b

-6 = 2 + b

b = -8

y = -1/2x -8

Hope it helps :)
