Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Question

Write the slope-intercept form of an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the line of the equation shown. 

(0,-2)y=1/3x-2

Answer 1

parallel line must also have slope m=1/3

The y-intercept of (0,-2) is GIVEN

see watch

B =y - mx

= -2 - (3/1)(0)

-2

y = (1/3)x - 2
