​Need help (10 points)

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to y=1/2x−1 and passes through the point (-4, -6).​

Answer 1

y = (½)x - 4

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope

So, m = ½

y = (½)x + c

Using (-4,-6) find c

-6 = ½(-4) + c

-6 = -2 + c

c = -6 + 2 = -4

y = (½)x - 4
