Question 552404
y=-0.5x+4	
	
Compare this equation with y=mx+b							
slope m =	-0.5						
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same							
The slope of the required line will be 			-0.5				
m=	-1/2	,point	(	-3	,	5	)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in							
y=mx+b							
5	=	3/2	+	b			
b=	7/2						
m=	-1/2						
Plug value of  the slope  and b	in y = mx +b		
The required equation isy  	=	-  1/ 2x	+7/2
