Question

y=1/2x-3; (-4,8)

write the equation of the line which is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point

Answer 1

write an equation that has a slope of 1/2 and has the points -4 and 8. in point slope form

Answer 2

medal

Answer 3

y=1/2x-3 (-4,8)
y=mx+b
substitute -4 for x and 8 for y and keep the slope b/c you're looking for something parallel to it
8=1/2(-4)+b
8=-2+b
10=b

y=1/2x+10 <-- this is the answer
