Question

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y =1/2x + 9 and goes through the point (-2,2)

Answer 1

y = 1/2x + 3

Explanation:

The slope of a parallel line is the same as the original.

Find the new y-intercept.

y = 1/2x + b

2 = 1/2(-2) + b

2 = -1 + b

3 = b

y = 1/2x + 3

Best of Luck!
