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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-0.5x+5. What is the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is 5.5? @larryboxaplenty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = one halfx - 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The slope is next to the x, so it is (-1/2), or -0.5. The slope of two parallel lines are the same, so...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-0.5x-8 is parallel, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I got it right

y = one halfx - 8
