Write an equation that is parallel to y =
1/2x + 2 and goes through the point (2,-3)

Slope-intercept form:  y = mx + b

(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)

For lines to be parallel, they need to have the same slope.

   The slope is 2, so the parallel line's slope is also 2.

Now that you know the slope, substitute/plug it into the equation:

y = mx + b

   To find b, plug in the point (2, -3) into the equation, then isolate/get the variable "b" by itself

-3 = 1 + b    Subtract 1 on both sides to get "b" by itself

-3 - 1 = 1 - 1 + b

-4 = b

the answer is (-8,-5)

step-by-step explanation:

the endpoint to midpoint is half the length. the length is (-2,-1) so when you are at the midpoint just add it to it to find your answer -6+(-2)= -8 and -4+(-1)=-5 so (-8,-5)

you could deduce the conclusion directly using the facts pertaining to the specific situation.

hope this .
