anonymous · Answer

the slope is the same because parallel lines never intersect
it the slope was different, they would intersect at one point

anonymous · Answer

Try the inverse

anonymous · Answer

To find the inverse, take y and x and interchange them and then solve for y.

So the equation becomes x = 1/2y+2.3

Solve for y.

x-2.3 = 1/2y
x - 2.3*(2) = y
y = 2(x -2.3)
y = 2x - 4.6

I read your question wrong! You need to find the y intercept and then make that your new equation's x intercept.

anonymous · Answer

um... please elaborate upon that...

anonymous · Answer

My answers aren't posting for some reason.  You have this equation in the slope-intercept form already.  The slope is 1/2.  The slope of every parallel line is 1/2.
