Question

Passes through (-7, -4) parallel to y=1/2x+9

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1/2x -.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that is the line is parallel to the equation then the slopes are going to be the same we just have to find the a different y-intercept.

It's a simple as this just plug the points into the equation you have like this.

(-7,-4) (PLUG IN)

-4 = 1/2(-7) +b (I do plus be so we can get another y intercept)

-4 = -3.5 + b (add 3.5 on each side)

-.5 = b

the equation parallel to the first one is...

y = 1/2x -.5
