NEED HELP***** ASAP****Write an equation of the line passing through point P(4,3) that is parallel to the line y = 1/2(x+4) .

Answer 1

Parallel lines have equal slope. The slope of the line given is 1/2 (y = mx + b where m is the slope). Now use the point-slope form, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where (x₁, y₁) is the point given in the problem. So,

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

Reducing this,

y - 3 = 1/2x - 2

y = 1/2x + 1
