Question

Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y = 1/2 x - 7 that

Answer 1

Answer:   Choice D

======================================================

Explanation:

The given equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b

We see that m = 1/2 is the slope of y = (1/2)x-7

We'll use this slope along with the point (x1,y1) = (-3,-2) to get the following

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y - (-2) = \frac{1}{2}(x - (-3))\\\\y + 2 = \frac{1}{2}(x+3)$

Which is why choice D is the answer.

Note: this final equation is in point slope form.
