write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.

Question

y=1/2x+5:(4,-3)

Answer 1

If it is parallel, then it must have the form

y = (1/2)x + b , with (4, -3) on it
-3 = (1/2)(4) + b
-3 = 2 + b
b = -5

y = (1/2)x - 5
