Answer:
Equation of the line is
y = 1/2x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line is y = mx + c
where
m is the slope
c is the y intercept
[tex]y = \frac{1}{2} x - 4[/tex]
comparing this equation with the above formula
Slope or m is 1/2
Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same
That's
m = 1/2
Equation of the line using point (4,5) is
[tex]y - 5 = \frac{1}{2} (x - 4) \\ y - 5 = \frac{1}{2} x - 2 \\ y = \frac{1}{2} x - 2 + 5 \\ y = \frac{1}{2} x + 3[/tex]
Hope this helps you.
