Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation.

(-1, 2), y = 1⁄2 x - 3

Answer 1

y=1/2x+2.5

Explanation:

The slope has to be the same because that what keeps them moving at the same rate and never intersect. The y-intercept has to be a specific number because it has to run through the point (-1,2) and that y-intercept is 2.5.
