Answer:

y = 1/2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a parallel equation needs to have the same slope as the given equation (1/2)

what we have so far is

y = 1/2x + b

since we know this has to pass through (-6, 5)

we’ll plug in -6 for x and 5 for y to find b

5 = 1/2(-6) + b

5 = -6/2 + b

5 = -3 + b

8 = b

so web. we plug b back into the equation

the final solution is

y = 1/2x + 8

Answer:

Equivalent to a), b), and d). It is NOT equivalent to c).

Step-by-step explanation:

6m + 12 is also equivalent to a) 3(2m+4) because when you distribute, it's 6m + 12. It is also equivalent to b) 3m + 8 + 4 + 3m because if you add them together, you get 6m + 12. It is not equivalent to c) but is do d) 4m + 2(m + 6) cause you use the distributive property then add. I hope this helped and please mark brainliest!
