Question 714062: Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is parallel to the line y=1/2x+7 and containing point (-4, 7). Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is parallel to the line y=1/2x+7 and containing point (-4, 7).
---------------
The slope of the line m = 1/2
Use y = mx + b and the point to find b, the y-intercept.
7 = (1/2)*-4 + b
b = 9
---------
--> y = (1/2)x + 9
or x - 2y = -18
-------------
PS don't put a space after the comma in (-4,7)
