Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that has the given slope and contains the point. Please show some work.( will mark brainliest)(4,-2)&(2,-1)

An equation in the slope-intercept form will be:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

Finding the slope between points

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

substituting the values m=-1/2 and the point (4, -2) to determine the y-intercept i.e. 'b'.

substituting the values m=-1/2 and b=0 to determine the line equation in slope-intercept form

Thus, an equation in the slope-intercept form will be:

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have
