Question 5. Find an equation of the line that (a) has y-intercept of 1 and (b) is parallel to the line 2x + 1y = -2

write you answer in the form y = mx + b.

Answer 1

TOO EASY!  Just find the slope of the line mentioned, because parallel lines have same slope.  That's m. 

 

To do this, take that given equation and SOLVE FOR y; the coefficient of x will be the slope, m.

 

And they gave you the y-intercept, b=1.
