Question 14 (5 points)

Find the equation of the line passing through the point (–1, 0) and parallel to the line y = –1∕2x + 3∕7
Question 14 options:

A)

y = ½x + ½

B)

y = –½x + ½

C)

y = 2x + 2

D)

y = –½x – ½

Answer 1

Parallel = same slope
Slope = 1/2
Y = 1/2x + b
Plug in the point
0 = -1/2 + b, b = 1/2
Solution : y = 1/2x + 1/2

The answer is A
