y - 3 = (1/2)(x - 1)
y - 3 = (1/2)x - (1/2
y = (1/2)x + (5/2)

First, we need to find the slope of the line using the two given points:
slope = (3 - (-2)) / (1 - (-9)) = 5 / 10 = 1/2
Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form to find the equation of the line:
y - 3 = 1/2(x - 1)
To convert this to slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y:
y - 3 = 1/2x - 1/2 y = 1/2x + 5/2
So the slope-intercept form of the equation for the line that passes through (-9,-2) and (1,3) is y = 1/2x + 5/2.

No need to determine slope between (-9, -2) and (1, 3). It is given the y - 3 = (1/2)(x - 1)02/20/23
