Question

2.Write the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given pointand is parallel to the given equation.x - 2y = 9 and passes through (4,5)

Answer 1

DEFINITIONS

Slope is the inclination of the line

Slope is represented by m in the equation

y = mx + b

When two lines are parallel ,they have the same slope.

Operations

Find the equation of the line

x - 2y= 9:. Then the equation is y = (1/2)x - 9/2

So then the slope is m= 1/2

the second equation is y= nx + C

Because the two lines are parallel then
