Determine 'a' so that `1/2,` is the slope of the line through the points (5,2) and (3,a)

Explanation

To determine the value of 'a' such that the slope of the line through the points (5, 2) and (3, a) is \( \frac{1}{2} \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Slope Formula
The slope \( m \) of a line passing through two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by the formula:
\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]
