Parallel to : y = 1/2x - 8

Passes through (-6, -17)

Our given slope is 1/2.

Plug the given coordinates into point-slope form.

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-17) = 1/2(x - (-6))

Simplify.

y + 17 = 1/2(x + 6)  ← Your answer.

However, sometimes teachers want this simplified even further.

So, simplify this.

y + 17 = 1/2x + 3

Subtract 17 from both sides.

y = 1/2x + 3 - 17

Simplify.

y = 1/2x - 14 ← Slope-intercept form.

Standard form → -1/2x + y = -14

Tresset [83]

Answer:

E. People once thought animals were individually create by some superior.

But the solid creation of theory of origin of species by the naturalist Charles Darwin demonstrated a different theory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before Charles Darwin several scientists were discussing the hypothesis of a theory of evolution. But it was Darwin whom put together all the information with reliable explanation and correlation between animal specialization and environment accordyinly with time.

He spent almost five years on board the ship HMS Beagle, crossing several continents, starting with South America. From there, he returned with dozens of specimens of living species, illustrations and fossils. Those specimens helped Darwin in his discoveries which originated the book On the Origin of Species published in 1859.
