Answer 1

second option

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, and since the slope of the given line is 1/2, we know the slope of the answer will be 1/2, which eliminates the first and last options. We know the slope and a point that belongs to the line, (-2, 1), so we can use point-slope formula to derive the equation of the line.

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

y - 1 = 1/2x + 1

y = 1/2x + 2
