Question 31475
x-2y+7 = 0
x+7 = 2y
2y = x+7
y = (1/2)x+(7/2)


so you are correct upto here.


To be honest, your question says get it into standard form... you just did. So end of question.


I have no idea why you quoted the (-4,0) point. Unless you want the line parallel to the quoted one that passes through point (-4,0). If this is so, then you need to say so.


Its equation will be of the form y=mx+c. If parallel, then the gradient will be the same, namely (1/2), so that


y=(1/2)x + c. Now to find c by putting in the x and y values:
0=(1/2)(-4) + c
0= -2 + c
--> c = 2


so equation is y = (1/2)x + 2
