Answer:

The correct answer is D) y = 1/2x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this equation, start with the slope of the original line. Since it is 1/2, the new line will also have that slope because parallel lines have the same slope. Now we can use this with the given point to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

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

y + 17 = 1/2x + 3

y = 1/2x - 14

Answer:

Commutative Property of Addition.-
2 + 3 = 3 + 2

Commutative Property of Multiplication.- ex. 5 × 7 = 7 × 5

Associative Property of Addition.- ex.(2 + 3) + 6 = 2 + (3 + 6)

Associative Property of Multiplication.- ex. (7 × 3) × 10 = 7 × (3 × 10)
Distributive Properties of Addition Over Multiplication- ex. 2 × (2 + 8) = 2 × 2 + 2 × 8
(2 + 8) × 10 = 2 × 10 + 8 × 10
