parallel y+6=-1/2 (x+8),(-5,3)

parallel

y + 6 = - \frac{1}{2} (x + 8), (- 5, 3)

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{1}{2}

Solution steps

Find the line

y = mx + b

parallel to

y + 6 = - \frac{1}{2} (x + 8)

that passes through

(- 5, 3)

Find the slope of

y + 6 = - \frac{1}{2} (x + 8) : m = - \frac{1}{2}

Compute the

y

intercept:

b = \frac{1}{2}

Construct the line equation

y = mx + b

where

m = - \frac{1}{2}

and

b = \frac{1}{2}

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{1}{2}
