You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the slope intercept form of an equation of the line that passes through the givin point and is parallel to the graph of the equation
(-4, -1), x + 2y = 6
-----
Find the slope of x + 2y = 6
Solve for "y"::
y = (-1/2)x + 3
----
slope = -1/2
-----------------------
Form of the equation answer:: y = mx + b
Substitute for x,y, and m ; solve for "b"::
-1 = (-1/2)(-4) = b
-1 = 2 + b
b = -3
-----
Answer:: y = (-1/2)x - 3
---------------
