1.Write an equation of the line that passes through point P and is parallel to the line with the given equation P(2,6); Y= 2x +1 I got Y= 2x +2 2. Write an equation of the line that passes through point P and is parallel to the line with the given equatio...

The equation for number 1. would be Y= 1/2 x + 3.5? The equation for 2. would be Y= - 1/5 x + 4?

I don’t understand why do you wirte it like that?

Thank you!
