Need to Know:
the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is where m is the slope and b the y-intercept,
y+=+highlight_green%28m%29x+%2B+highlight%28b%29
line parallel to y= (1/2)x+2 Green Line
passing through (-2,4)
m = (1/2)
y - 4 = (1/2)(x + 2) ***Using point-slope form, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+highlight_green%28m%29%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29
y = (1/2)x + 5 Blue Line
