Question

The equation of the line that goes through the point ( 3 ,5 ) and is parallel to the line 2 x + 4 y = 2 can be written in the form y = mx+b where m is and where b is?

Please help me !!!

Answer 1

the slope of the given line is -1/2

Now you have a point and a slope:

y-5 = -1/2 (x-3)
y = -1/2 x + 13/2
