Question

Write the equation that is parallel to Y=1/2x + 3and passes through (-6,5)

Answer 1

You get the slope from the first line, then use the formula for getting the line while knowing the point and slope.

Answer 2

And knowing that a parallel line will have the same slope.

Answer 3

What is the slope of the given line?

Answer 4

Do you know where to look?

Answer 5

ummm

Answer 6

ummm is not the answer. (From Judge Judy)

Answer 7

lol

Answer 8

1/2 is the slope

Answer 9

The given line y=(1/2)x + 3 The equation is already in slope intercept form, so just look at the coefficient of the x term, that is the slope.

Answer 10

so what do i do next?

Answer 11

So the new line to be parallel will also have the slope 1/2.

Now use the fact that slope is also equal to delta y/ delta x or\[\Delta y \over \Delta x\]

Answer 12

(y-5)/(x+6) =1/2 that is also delta y/delta x
