Question 118162: which is the equation of the line that contains the point (0,2) and is parallel

to the graph of y = -1/2x -1
a. y = -1/2x-2
b. y = -1/2x+2
c. y = 2x-2
d. y = 2x+2

y=-1/2x-1 his line has a slope of -1/2.
A parallel line also has a slope of -1/2 & if it passes through (0,2)then:
2=-1/2*0+b
b=2 thus the equation of this line is:
y=-1/2x+2 answer is B).
