Question

Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y=1/2x-7 that

passes through (-3,-2).
Ay+2=(x+3)
B. y +3--(x+2)
OC. y +2= 2(x+3)
OD. y-2-(x-3)

Answer 1

Explanation:

the point-slope form is

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

with (x1,y1) being a point on the line, and m being the slope, which is always (in any form) the factor of x.

being parallel means to have the same slope.

the given line has 1/2 as factor of x, which is therefore also its slope.

for our new line we get therefore

y + 2 = 1/2 × (x + 3)

you messed up the answer options, but I am guessing you tried to use a special character to show ½, which often did not get converted, so your right answer is likely A.

but please check with your original text and pick the option with the answer as above.
