Question

write an equation of the line which is parallel to y=1/2x=4 and passes through the point(6,-4)

Answer 1

do mean y=1/2x+4 ?

Answer 2

yes i meant that, my bad can u pls help me?

Answer 3

yes i can :)

Answer 4

thank you

Answer 5

\[y=(1/2)x-7\]

Answer 7

okaii thanks a lot but how did u find the -7?

Answer 8

you have to use the point-slope formula to figure out the equation of the line so
y - y1=m(x-x1) so y+4=(1/2)*(x-6) then distribute the 1/2 then get y on its own. when you reduce fractions, you will get the -7

Answer 9

y - y1=m(x-x1)
y+4=(1/2)*(x-6)
y+4=(1/2)*x-6/2
y=1/2x -6/2 -4 or y=1/2x -6/2 -8/2
y=1/2x-7
