Question

Write the standard form of the equation of the line parallel to the graph of x – 2y – 6 = 0 and passing through C(0, 1).

Answer 1

First covert the given equation into slope intercept form
y=mx+c
m-slope
c-y-intercept
x-2y-6=0
x-6=2y
(x-6)/2=y
x/2-3=y
slope is same for parallel lines.
y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
y-1=m(x-0)
Can u do nw @stevenc?

Answer 2

yes. the answer is y=1/2x+1

Answer 3

but in standard form I think it is -1/2x+y=1

Answer 4

@ajprincess

Answer 5

ya u r right. bt it wud be better if u make the coefficient of x positive.

Answer 6

you can do that by multiplying the whole equation by -1.
