Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 1/2(y -3)

Explanation:

Begin by finding the slope using the slope formula:

$m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)$

Plug in the coordinates:

m = (4-3)/(2-0)

Simplify:

m = (1)/(2)

Recall that point-slope form is:

(x-x_(1)) = m(y-y_(1))

Plug in the slope and coordinates into the equation:

(x - 0) = 1/2(y - 3)

x = 1/2(y -3)
