Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 6) and parallel to y = 1/2x - 8.
A) y = 1/2x + 7
B) y = 1/2x + 5
C) y = 2x + 7
D) y = 2x + 5
17.

Answer 1

the 17 at the bottom shouldent be there oops

Answer 2

for this quesiton just use the following equation

Y-y = m (X-x)

for the small letters x and y just plug in the point that u have

and for the slope use the same slope, which is 1/2 since the lines are parallel

Answer 3

im still not sure i understand /:

Answer 4

y-6=1/2(x+2)
2y-12=x+2
2y=x+14

Answer 5

Y-y= m (X-x)

look it is all just depends on the plugging in of numbers

what seems confusing to u ?

Answer 6

What @Nali is trying to say.
\[y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\]where
m = 1/2
\(x_1 = -2\)
\(y_1 = 6\)
