Question

Find the equation of a line that is parallel to the equation that passes through the given point

y = 1/2x + 5 and passes through (4,-5)

Answer 1

y=½x-7

Explanation:

The slope of two parallel lines is equal

The slope of the given line is ½

So y-y1=m(x-x1)

y--5=½(x-4)

y+5=½x-2

y=½x-2-5

y=½x-7
