Question

Write the equation of line in slope-intercept form.


Line parallel to y=0.5x+3 that passes through the point (−9,12)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 0.5x + 32.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 3

Slope of parallel lines are equal

y - $y_{1}$ = m(x - $x_{1}$)

y - 12 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (x + 9)

y - 12 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x + $\frac{9}{2}$ ⇔ y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x + $\frac{33}{2}$

or y = 0.5x + 32.5
