Parallel lines have the same slope.
So I plug in the -5 and -4
-4 = 1/2(-5) + b
-4 = -2.5 + b
b = -1.5
So I get y = 1/2x - 3/2

<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>
- Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to solve for x

- Multiply both sides by
x ×
( divide both sides by
)
x = ≈ ( nearest tenth )
Answer:
b
