Question

3.

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.

y= 1/2x - 8; (-6, -17)


A. y= -2x+14

B. y= 1/2x+5/2

C. y= 2x-14

D. y= 1/2x-14

Answer 1

Answer:

D. y= 1/2x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point y=1/2x-8; (-6,-17)

you know m is 1/2

y=mx+b Put in the x,y point, and solve for b, and you have the equations

Y=1/2x-14

y = 1/2x – 14
