Question

50 POINTS FOR EACH PERSON'S ANSWER

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation
1. (-2,3) ; y = 1/2x - 1
2. (5,0) ; y + 1 = 2(x -3)

Answer 1

1. y = 1/2x + 4

2. y = 2x - 10

Explanation:

1. The slope must be 1/2 and it passes through (-2, 3)

First use the point-slope form:-

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = 1/2(x - -2)

y = 1/2x + 1 + 3

y = 1/2x + 4 (answer).

2. y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = 2(x - 5}

y = 2x - 10 (answer)
