Question

Help me pleaseeeeeeee

Answer 1

Answer:

parallel means that the line has the same slope as

$y = \frac{1}{2} x + 9$

Slope point formula :

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

m represents the slope.

x and y represents the point in the form (x, y).

Since the slopes are the same we can substitute the slope into the formula:

$y - y1 = \frac{1}{2} (x - x1)$

then we can substitute our point (2, - 5)

$y - ( - 5) = \frac{1}{2} (x - 2)$

Final answer:

Change the - 5 to positive.

$y + 5 = \frac{1}{2} (x - 2)$

Leave y by it's own and subtract 5 to get rid of it. Do this both sides to make it equal.

$y + 5 - 5 = \frac{1}{2} (x - 2) - 5$

Get rid of the brackets by multiplying:

$y =( \frac{1}{2} \times x) - ( \frac{1}{2} \times 2) - 5$

simplify:

$y = \frac{1}{2} x - 1 - 5$

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{2} x - 6$
