Answer:

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

Explanation:

Slope of line: Notice that if we go from 7 to 5, the 'run' is -2 and the corresponding 'rise' from 2 to 3 is 1. Thus, the slope is m = -1/2.

Using m = -1/2 and the point (5, 3), we write the equation of this line in point-slope form as:

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