$y+5=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+2)$

Using $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ or the Point-Slope form where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on the line, then the equation of the line with the given slope equal to $ \dfrac{1}{2} $ and with the given point $\left( -2,-5 \right)$ is \begin{array}{l} y+5=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+2) .\end{array}
