Find the equation for the line that passes through the point (−3, −1)and that is parallel to the line with the equation y = 1/2x − 3
The given line has slope = 1/2
----------------
Form of answer equation:: y = mx + b
Solve for "b"::
-1 = (1/2)(-3) + b
b = -1+(3/2)
b = 1/2
-----------
Answer:: y = (1/2)x + (1/2)
-------------
Cheers,
