Question

Passes through (2,-4) parallel to y = 1/2x + 5

Answer 1

`y=(1)/(2) x-5`

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form:

`y=mx+b`

where:

• m is the slope
• b is the y-intercept
• x and y are corresponding coordinate points

When two lines are parallel, their slopes are the same. Mak a new equation with the same slope:

`y=(1)/(2) x+b`

Now we need to find the value of b. Insert the given point for x and y:

`-4=(1)/(2) (2)+b`

Solve for b.

Simplify multiplication. Follow the rule
`(a)/(b) *c=(ac)/(b)`:

`-4=(1*2)/(2) +b\\\\-4=1+b`

Isolate the variable. Subtract 1 from both sides:

`-4-1=1-1+b\\\\-5=b`

The y-intercept is -5. Insert, replacing the "+":

`y=(1)/(2) x-5`

:Done
