Problem
What is the equation of the line parallel to and passing through the point ? Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
Solution
First, subtract from both sides and divide by 2 to write the given line in slope intercept form. This gives . The slope of this line is . So, we need to find a line with a slope of that passes through the point . Writing this requirement in point-slope form gives the line , or equivalently,
Final answer
y=-2x+1
