SOLUTION: Find the equation for the line that passes through the point (1,5) and that is parallel to the line with equation y=1/4x+1/2

Question 511963: Find the equation for the line that passes through the point (1,5) and that is parallel to the line with equation y=1/4x+1/2

A parallel line will have the same slope as y = 1/4x + 1/2.
m = 1/4
.
y = 1/4x + b
.
To find b, use the point you need to go through: (x,y) = (1,5).
.
5 = 1/4(1) + b
b = 4 3/4
.
y = 1/4x + 4 3/4
.
