Question

identifying equation in point slope form for the line parallel to Y=1/2x-7 that passes through (-3,-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y+2=\frac{1}{2}(x+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

point slope form for the line parallel to $y=\frac{1}{2}x-7$ that passes through (-3,-2)

First find the slope of the given line

Given line is in the form of $y=mx+b$

slope of given line = $\frac{1}{2}$

slope of parallel line = slope of given line

Slope of parallel line = $\frac{1}{2}$

Point slope form of a line is

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$, point is (-3,2)

$y+2=\frac{1}{2}(x+3)$

Answer 2

Answer:

(y+2)=1/2(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1 = m (x-x1)  m=1/2, x1= -3, y1= -2
