the question says find the equation for the line that is parallel to the line with the equation of (y-5)=1/2(x+1) passing through the point (-4,-5)
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
document.write( "The equation: \"y+-+5+=+%281%2F2%29%28x+%2B+1%29\" has a slope of \"1%2F2\"
\n" );
document.write( "The equation being formed will have the same slope, \"1%2F2\" since the lines of both equations are parallel
\n" );
document.write( "Using the slope, \"1%2F2\", the point (- 4, - 5), and the point-slope formula: \"y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29\", we get:
