Which equation in slope-intercept form represents a line that is parallel to y=1/2x−2 and passes through the point (−8,1)?

Question

y=−1/2x+5
y=1/2x+5
y=1/2x−9
y=−2x−7
y=−2x−5

Answer 1

slope is 1/2
so,
y = 1/2 x + b
So, find b such that
1 = 1/2 * -8 + b

Answer 2

....Btw the answer is y=1/2x+5...
Just for yall in the future ;)
