1. Identify the slope of the given line:
m = \frac{1}{2}
2. Use the point-slope form of a line equation,
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), with the point (6, -2) and slope m = \frac{1}{2}.
3. Substitute the values into the point-slope form equation:
y - (-2) = \frac{1}{2}(x - 6)
4. Simplify the equation:
y + 2 = \frac{1}{2}x - 3
5. Solve for y to get the slope-intercept form:
y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3 - 2 \Rightarrow y = \frac{1}{2}x - 5
Answer:
y = \frac{1}{2}x - 5
