+1438 Find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (4, -1) and is // to the line y = 1/2x - 3.
a) y = 1/2x - 1
b) y = 1/2x - 3
c) y = -2x +9
d) y = -2x -7
+36916 The slope of the new line will be the same : 1/2
so answer A or B Substitute in the point given 4, -1 to see which one it is .....
+14913 Find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that
passes through the point (4, -1) and is // to the line y = 1/2x - 3.
Hello SmartMathMan!
\(m=\frac{1}{2}\)
\(y=m(x-x_1)+y_1\\ y=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)-1\)
\(y=\frac{1}{2}x-3\) b)
!
+1438 Thank you asinus! It's kind of embarrassing but I kept trying to solve this and getting it wrong.
