the slope will be the same as the line but will have a different y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "slope intercept form of the equation of a line is y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y intercept
\n" ); document.write( "your line has a slope of (1/2) and a y intercept of -7
\n" ); document.write( "your parallel line will have a slope of (1/2) but a different y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "something like:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/2)x + 7 will do the trick.
\n" ); document.write( "here's a graph of both of these lines.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28400%2C400%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%281%2F2%29x%2B7%2C%281%2F2%29x-7%29\"$
