Answer:
y = 0.5x
Explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 0.5x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 0.5
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = 0.5x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 2, 1) into the partial equation
- 1 = - 1 + c ⇒ - 1 + 1 = 0
y = 0.5x + 0 , that is
y = 0.5x ← equation of parallel line
