Question

Write an equation that passes through (2,0) and is parallel to y=-1/2x+6

Answer 1

You know that an equation that is parallel with the equation y = -.5x + 6 , the new equation must have the same slope.

So the new equation must have the form y = -.5x + b where b is the y-intercept but we are told that the y intercept is 0 at (2,0).

So, the new equation must be y = -.5x
