Question

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

Answer 1

Parallel---> Same slope---->m=-1/2
Then use this:
\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
Where (x1, y1)=(4,-6)
Tell us what do you get

Answer 2

x - 8

Answer 3

y+6=(-1/2)*(x-4)
Start from there.

Answer 4

y = -2x + 2

Answer 5

\[y+6=\frac{-1}{2}(x-4)=\frac{-x}{2}+2\]
And now?

Answer 6

y = -1/2x - 4

Answer 7

You got it! Congratulations!
