Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation. (0,0);y=1/2x+8
(0,0) is the y-intercept
parallel lines have equal slopes ... in this case , 1/2
new equation ... y = 1/2 x + 0 ... but we don't need to write the zero
... y = 1/2 x
