Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (4, –6) and is parallel to y = –1/2x + 5.
y = –2x + 2
y = 2x – 14
y = x – 8
y = –x – 4

anyone?

anonymous · Answer

it's simple .. where are you stuck ?

anonymous · Answer

on  the question lol

anonymous · Answer

do you understand the question ?

anonymous · Answer

not at all

anonymous · Answer

i don't understand the equation and the parallel part

anonymous · Answer

$$y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1})$$
y - (-6) = (-1/2)(x - 4)
y + 6 = -1/2x + 2
y = -1/2x - 4

anonymous · Answer

Do you understand what a straight line is ? and how it is represented ?

anonymous · Answer

The parallel line is a hint as to how to find the slope
parallel lines have EQUAL slopes

anonymous · Answer

Any straight line $$ax+by=c$$ is parallel to $$ax+by=k$$

wow i couls never get this graph stuff no matter how hard i try
