Question

find the equation of line passing through (-3, 1) and parallel to the line with equation 2x+4y-1=0​

Answer 1

Answer:

x+2y+1=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4y-1=0

4y=-2x+1

y=-2x/4+1/4=

y=-x/2+1/4

So m=-1/2

Other line is parallel to this line so m will be same

let the eqn

is:

y=mx+c

y=-x/2+c

This line passes through (-3,1)

so 1=3/2+c

c=1-3/2=-1/2

thus eqn is

y=-x/2-1/2

x+1=-2y

or x+2y+1=0
