Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(b) The given line is in standard form, so the equation you want will be similar, but with a different right-side constant. That constant is found by putting the coordinates of the given point into the left-side expression.
x + 2y = constant
(-3) +2(6) = constant = 9
The standard form equation of the parallel line is x +2y = 9.
__
(a) To put this equation in slope-intercept form, solve for y.
2y = -x +9
y = (-1/2)x +9/2
