---
given:
line through poitns: (4, 5) and (6, 6)
---
slope of parallel line:
m = (6-5)/(6-4)
m = 0.5
---
given:
line through the origin: (0,0)
---
to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this (the given point and parallel slope):
0,0,0.5
into the "Point-Slope form: x1 y1 m" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
---
x-intercept = (0, 0)
y-intercept = (0, 0)
slope = 1/2 = 0.5
---
answer:
the slope-intercept form of our new parallel line:
y = (1/2)x
