Question

Find an equation of a line through (0, -7) and parallel to the line y=1/2x+5.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is y = 1/2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Point = (0, -7)

line = y = 1/2x + 5

Parallel line have the same slope.

Slope of the first line = 1/2

Slope of the new line = 1/2

Equation of the line

                y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitution

                 y + 7 = 1/2(x + 0)

Simplification

                 y + 7 = 1/2x

result

                 y = 1/2x - 7
