O D. y +2 -1/2(x+3)

Identify an equation in pointslope form for the line parallel to y 12 x 7 that passes through 32 O A y2 12 x3 B y 2 2x3 O C y3 12x2 O D y 2 12x3 class=

Respuesta :

Answer:   Choice D

======================================================

Explanation:

The given equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b

We see that m = 1/2 is the slope of y = (1/2)x-7

We'll use this slope along with the point (x1,y1) = (-3,-2) to get the following

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y - (-2) = \frac{1}{2}(x - (-3))\\\\y + 2 = \frac{1}{2}(x+3)\\\\[/tex]

Which is why choice D is the answer.

Note: this final equation is in point slope form.
