Question

what is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (2, 3)?

Answer 1

Answer: y = -1/2x + 4

Explanation:

If it’s parallel, the slope would be the same. The slope of the first line is -1/2 (down 1 unit, right 2 units)

Using the slope, the new line would pass through 4 on the y-axis (vertical line), so that’s where + 4 comes into the equation.

Answer 2

x+2y=8

Explanation:

I just took the edg. test and got it correct :)
