Explanation:

Identify the given point and slope

Using the Graphing Linear Equations knowledge point

$$

$$

Plot the starting point

Using the Graphing Linear Equations knowledge point

$$ \text{Plot the point } (1, 4) \text{ on the coordinate plane.} $$

Use the slope to find a second point

Using the Graphing Linear Equations knowledge point

$$

$$

Draw the line through the points

Using the Graphing Linear Equations knowledge point

$$ \text{Draw a straight line passing through } (1, 4) \text{ and } (3, 3). $$

Answer:

To graph the line, plot the given point \((1, 4)\). From there, use the slope \(m = -\frac{1}{2}\) by moving down \(1\) unit and right \(2\) units to find a second point at \((3, 3)\). Draw a straight line passing through both points.
