Answer:
y = 1/2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
a parallel equation needs to have the same slope as the given equation (1/2)
what we have so far is
y = 1/2x + b
since we know this has to pass through (-6, 5)
we’ll plug in -6 for x and 5 for y to find b
5 = 1/2(-6) + b
5 = -6/2 + b
5 = -3 + b
8 = b
so web. we plug b back into the equation
the final solution is
y = 1/2x + 8
