parallel y=-1/2 x-4,(3,-4)

parallel

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 4, (3, - 4)

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{5}{2}

Solution steps

Find the line

y = mx + b

parallel to

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 4

that passes through

(3, - 4)

Find the slope of

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 4 : m = - \frac{1}{2}

Compute the

y

intercept:

b = - \frac{5}{2}

Construct the line equation

y = mx + b

where

m = - \frac{1}{2}

and

b = - \frac{5}{2}

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{5}{2}
