Question

Identify an equation in point - slope form for the line parllel to y = 1/2 x - 7 that passes through (-3,-2)

A. y-2=1/2(x-3)
B.y+2=1/2(x+3)
C.y+3=-1/2(x+2)
D.y+2=2(x+3)

Answer 1

B. y + 2 = ½(x + 3)

Explanation:

Insert the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs. Remember, in the Point-Slope Formula, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE term of what they really are.
