Answer:
B) y= -½x -½
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form
y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
[tex]y = - \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{3}{7} [/tex]
Slope of given line= -½
Since parallel lines have the same slope, slope of unknown line= -½.
y= -½x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation.
When x= -1, y= 0,
[tex]0 = - \frac{1}{2} ( - 1) + c[/tex]
[tex]0 = \frac{1}{2} + c[/tex]
[tex]c = - \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
Thus, the equation of the line is y= -½x -½.
