Answer
Refer to the graph below.
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
The point-slope form of a line's equation is given by $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ where $m$=slope and $(x_1, y_1)$ is a point on the line.
The given equation can be written as:
$y-(-4)=\frac{1}{2}[x-(-2)]$
Thus,
$m=\frac{1}{2}$
$(-2, -4)$ is a point on the line.
To graph this equation, perform the following steps:
(1) Plot the point $(-2, -4)$.
(2) Use the slope to plot another point on the line.
From $(-2, -4)$ move 1 unit up (the rise) and 2 units to the right (the run) to reach $(0, -3)$. Plot $(0, -3)$.
(3) Connect the two points using a line.
