Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=1/2x+3 and goes through the point (4, -3).

Answer 1

y+3=1/2(x-4)

Explanation:

any line parallel to another line has the exact same slope. So you already know your slope, but to do this, we need point slope form. y-y_1=m(x-x_1). we can plug in the slope as well as well as the point that we know. y+3=1/2(x-4). Remeber, math is all about being simple. since the question didn't specify a certain form of the equation, you can just keep this as your answer! Hope this helped!
