Which equation represents the line that passes through the point (-2,2) and is parallel to y= 1/2 + 8?

Respuesta :

Lines that are parallel have the same slope, and I'm going to guess you meant y= 1/2x + 8.

So already starting we know the other equation is y= 1/2x + b. But now we have to find b.

We do this by plugging in the coordinate given.

2=1/2(-2) + b
2= -1 + b
3 = b

This means the equation you want is y= 1/2x + 3.

I hope this helps!

The linear equation which passes through the point (-2,2) is y = 1/2x +3.

What is linear equation?

A linear equation is" an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always is 1".

According to the question,

The linear equation passes through the point (-2,2) and is parallel to

y = 1/2 x +8.

Equation of the straight line y = m x + b [where 'm' is the slope of the line, b = y-intercept]

The linear equation passes through the point (-2,2) is y = 1/2x + b.

y = 1/2 x + b

2 = 1/2(-2) + b    [since the line passes through the point (-2,2)]

2 = -1 + b

b = 3.

Hence, the linear equation which passes through the point (-2,2) is

y = 1/2x +3.
