Answer

$$y+3=.5(x+2)$$

Work Step by Step

We first find the slope: $$m=\frac{-1-\left(-3\right)}{2-\left(-2\right)}=.5$$ We know that point slope form is expressed as $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$, where $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on the line, and m is the slope of the line. Using this, we find that the equation of the line is: $$y+3=.5(x+2)$$
