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

Have you considered the point-slope form? Build it!!

Answer 2

Im confused can you explain

Answer 3

If I told you to build the equation of a line, given that it passes through (-2,3) and has a slope of 1/2, could you do it?

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

Okay, do it. Let's see what you get.

Answer 6

Can you give me an example because im stuck

Answer 7

I was waiting for your example. You said you could do it. Am I doing this one for you?

Answer 8

Nope but it would be helpful if you could show me an example so I can kinda like figure it out

Answer 9

Point-Slope Form

Point:(h,k)
Slope: m

(y-k) = m(x-h)

In your case:

Point: (h,k) = (-2,6)
Slope: m = 1/2

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

That's really it, but it wants it solved for y.

y = (1/2)x + 1 + 6 = (1/2)x + 7 -- Looks like we have a winner!

Answer 11

Let's see you do one.
