Answer:

The answer is Y = 1/2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation with a slope and intercept is:

y=mx+b

We are given a slope of 1/2, which represents the "M" part of the equation.

So we have:

Y = 1/2x + b

We do not know what "b" is, so the equation is not complete.

We plug in "-2" for X and "8" for Y:

8 = 1/2 (-2) + b

b = 9

So, the full equation is: Y  = 1/2x + 9
