Question

The straight line L has equation y = 1/2x+7 The straight line M is parallel to L and passes through the point (0, 3). Write down an equation for the line M.

Answer 1

y = 1/2x +3

Explanation:

Since they are parallel lines the slope will remain the same

now we need to find the y intercept and we will have the equation

Lucky we know that our y intercept is three

y = (slope)*x + (y intercept)

y = 1/2 x +3
