line that passes through the point (4, -6) and is parallel to y = -1 over 2 x + 5

Question

line that passes through the point (4, -6) and is parallel to y = -1 over 2  x + 5

jh3power · Answer

well since it's parallel, it should be y=a kind of graph. so it's y=-6.

what was 'over 2x+5' for?

anonymous · Answer

i put -1 over 2 then it was x+5

anonymous · Answer

$$ y = \frac{-1}{2}(  x + 5)$$
comparing above eq with y=mx+c we find  slope m= -1/2
since line passes through point  (4, -6)
therefore eq of line in slope point form is given as
y-y1=m(x-x1)
i.e. y+6=-1/2(x-4)
i.e. y+6=-1/2x+2
i.e. y=-1/2x+2 -6
i.e. y=-1/2x-4
2y =-x-8
i.e. x+2y =-8 which is the required eq of line

oh.. i thought it was just y=-1

anonymous · Answer

y = -2x + 2 
   y = 2x - 14 
dese are the answers and the rest of the asnwers are y= 1 over 2
