Question 7 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)

[4_07]Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 6) and parallel to y = 1/2x - 8.

y =1/2x + 7

y = 1/2x + 5

y = 2x + 7

y = 2x + 5

Answer 3

because it is parallel, the slope of your final equation is 1/2

plug in the point (-2,6) into y = (1/2)x + b to solve for b
6 = (1/2)(-2) + b
7 = b

y = (1/2)x + 7, A

Answer 4

any line parallel to y = 1/2x - 8 is
y = 1/2x + c --------- 1
since it passes through, (-2, 6)
6 = 1/2(-2) + c
find the value of c ... plugin in 1, and get you answer
