Answer:
The answer is
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line is y = mx + c
where
m is the slope
c is the y intercept
To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line
The equation of the line is
y = 1/4x + 5
Comparing with the general equation above
Slope / m = 1/4
Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same
Slope of parallel line = 1/4
So the equation of the line using point (2,-1) and slope 1/4 is
[tex]y + 1 = \frac{1}{4} (x - 2) \\ y - 1 = \frac{1}{4} x - \frac{1}{2} \\ y = \frac{1}{4} x - \frac{1}{2} + 1[/tex]
We have the final answer as
[tex]y = \frac{1}{4} x + \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
