Question

identifying equation in point slope form for the line parallel to Y=1/2x-7 that passes through (-3,-2)

Answer 1

(y+2)=1/2(x+3)

Explanation:

y-y1 = m (x-x1) m=1/2, x1= -3, y1= -2

Answer 2

`y+2=(1)/(2)(x+3)`

Explanation:

point slope form for the line parallel to
`y=(1)/(2)x-7` that passes through (-3,-2)

First find the slope of the given line

Given line is in the form of
`y=mx+b`

slope of given line =
`(1)/(2)`

slope of parallel line = slope of given line

Slope of parallel line =
`(1)/(2)`

Point slope form of a line is

`y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)`, point is (-3,2)

`y+2=(1)/(2)(x+3)`
