Question 208398: Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that contains the given point and is a parallel to the given line. (2,-2);y=1/2x+3 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that contains the given point and is a parallel to the given line. (2,-2);y=1/2x+3
---------------------------------------------------------------
The given line has a slope of 1/2
--------------------------
The equation you want has form y = mx + b
Since y = -2 when x = 2 and m = 1/2, solve for "b":
-2 = (1/2)2 + b
-2 = 1 + b
b = -3
-----------------------
Equation: y = (1/2)x - 3
