The equation of line EF is y = 1 over 2x + 6. Write an equation of a line parallel to line EF in slope-intercept form that contains point (0, −2).

Question

The equation of line EF is y = 1 over 2x + 6. Write an equation of a line parallel to line EF in slope-intercept form that contains point (0, −2).

Answer 1

For EF, the equation is PROBABLY y = ½•x + 6

any line parallel to EF will have the same slope, "one half" or 0.5

You can use Point Slope form to obtain the answer:

y -(-2) = ½x - 0)

Simplify, if you wish.
