Answer:
y = 1/2x -.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that is the line is parallel to the equation then the slopes are going to be the same we just have to find the a different y-intercept.
It's a simple as this just plug the points into the equation you have like this.
(-7,-4) (PLUG IN)
-4 = 1/2(-7) +b (I do plus be so we can get another y intercept)
-4 = -3.5 + b (add 3.5 on each side)
-.5 = b
the equation parallel to the first one is...
y = 1/2x -.5
