Question

HELP! ASAP!

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (4, -6) and is parallel to y = -one half x + 5.

y = -2x + 2

y = 2x - 14

y = one half x - 8

y = -one half x - 4

Answer 1

well parallel lines have equal slopes. so all you do is plug in the slope from the first line (-1/2) into the equation for a line (y= mx + b)
so,
y = -1/2x + b
Then plug in the point for the second line (4, -6) for x and y, solve for b, then plug in the value of b into y = -1/2x + b
Understand?

Answer 2

What do you do with the 4,-6 because I got the first part already I'm just confused what to do with the 4,-6

Answer 3

Also what is a recursive function?

Answer 4

(x,y)
(4,-6)
4 = x
-6 = y

y = -1/2x + b
(-6) = -1/2(4) + b

Solve for b, then put the answer you get for b into
y = -1/2x + b
