Write the equation of a line that is
parallel to y = 0.5x + 6 and
passes through the point (6, -2).​

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]y=0.5x-5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation is parallel, this means that the slope remains the same which is 0.5.

The remaining thing to do is to find b or y-intercept. To do that, the point (6,-2) and the slope of 0.5 will be used.

[tex]-2=0.5(6)+b[/tex]

When solving for b, it will equal to -5.

Therefore the new equation that is parallel is [tex]y=0.5x-5[/tex]
