Question

Write the equation of a line that is

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=0.5x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation is parallel, this means that the slope remains the same which is 0.5.

The remaining thing to do is to find b or y-intercept. To do that, the point (6,-2) and the slope of 0.5 will be used.

$-2=0.5(6)+b$

When solving for b, it will equal to -5.

Therefore the new equation that is parallel is $y=0.5x-5$
