Answer:

y + 1 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁ ) a point on the line

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 1 )

m = [tex]\frac{1-(-1)}{2-(-2)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1+1}{2+2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 1 ) , then

y - (- 1) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](x - (- 2) ) , that is

y + 1 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (x + 2)
