Answer:

  y -3 = -1/2(x +10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point and a slope, it is reasonable to use the point-slope form of the equation for a line.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your line has slope m = -1/2 through point (h, k) = (-10, 3). Putting these values into the appropriate form your equation is ...

  y -3 = -1/2(x +10) . . . . point-slope form equation

__

  y = -1/2x -5 +3 . . . . eliminate parentheses, add 3

  y = -1/2x -2 . . . . . . . . . slope-intercept form equation
