Answer:

y = -1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's parallel, that means that the slope is the opposite of the one in the given equation, meaning that 2 would be flipped and turned negative into -1/2.

Then, fill in the x and y values to get the y-intercept.

1 = -1/2(-6) + b

1 = 3 + b

-2 = b

So your answer is y = -1/2x - 2

If 1/2x = a= 2/3y and x + y= na, what is the value of n?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2} x=a=\frac{2}{3} y\\\frac{1}{2}x=a\\x=2a \\\frac{2}{3} y=a\\y=\frac{3}{2} a\\x+y=2a+\frac{3}{2} a=\frac{4a+3a}{2} =\frac{7}{2} a=na\\n=\frac{7}{2}$
