Question

2 Write the equation of the line that goes

through (-2, 4) and is parallel to the line y = 1/2 x + 2

Answer 1

hi

if the twi lines are parallel , they have the same slope.

So slope is 1/2.

equation of a line is : mx +p

The line goes throught (-2 ; 4)

We have 1/2 ( -2) + p = 4

- 2/2 +p = 4

-1 +p = 4

p = 4+1

p = 5

equation of the line is y = 1/2x +5
