What is the equation for the line that goes through #(2,14)# and parallel to #y=-1/2x+2#?
1 Answer
Explanation:
Two lines being parallel means that they have the same slope. Therefore, the slopes must both be
When a line goes through a point, it has a certain x and y coordinate.
That means that you can solve for b (remember, the general equation of a line is
Given point
So, the equation of the parallel line is
