Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 6) and parallel to y = one halfx - 8.

y = one halfx + 7

y = one halfx + 5

y = 2x + 7

y = 2x + 5

Answer 1

do you know the slope of y = 1/2x - 8 ?

Answer 2

In y = mx + b form (which is what the equation is in) the m position is the slope.
So what is the slope ?

Answer 3

Yea !

y-6 =1/2(x-2)

Answer 4

almost.....
y - 6 = 1/2(x -(-2)
y - 6 = 1/2(x + 2)
y - 6 = 1/2x + 1
y = 1/2x + 1 + 6
y = 1/2x + 7

any questions ?

Answer 5

No :D !! Thank you soo much for your help :)

Answer 6

anytime :)
