Write the slope intercept form of an equation of the line that passes through the givin point and is parallel to the graph of the equation
(-4, -1), x + 2y = 6
-----
Find the slope of x + 2y = 6
Solve for "y"::
y = (-1/2)x + 3
----
slope = -1/2
-----------------------
Form of the equation answer:: y = mx + b
Substitute for x,y, and m ; solve for "b"::
-1 = (-1/2)(-4) = b
-1 = 2 + b
b = -3
-----
Answer:: y = (-1/2)x - 3
