Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope intercept form"# is.
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
#"where m represents the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"here "m=1/2#
#rArry=1/2x+blarr" partial equation"#
#"to find b substitute "(-3,0)" into the partial equation"#
#0=-3/2+brArrb=3/2#
#y=1/2x+3/2larrcolor(red)" in slope-intercept form"#
