What similarities and differences do parallel lines have?
y=1/2x+8
Practice makes perfect
When lines are parallel they have the same slope. With this, we know that all lines that are parallel to our given line will have a slope of 12.
y=1/2x-7
If we write the desired equation in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, we can add this slope.
y=1/2x+ b
To determine the value of b, we can use the fact that our line must pass through point (-6,5). Let's substitute x= -6 and y= 5 into the equation and solve for b.
