Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 6) and parallel to y = 1/2 x - 8.

Answer 1

the given line is y=1/2x-8
its slope is 1/2
so line parallel to it will have slope 1/2
y=mx+c
m=1/2
c=?
y=1/2x+c
line passes through -2,6 so this will satisfy this line's equation
6=-1+c
c=7
y=1/2x+7 solution
