Answer:
y = 1/2x - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same gradient
So,
gradient for second line = gradient of the first line = 1/2
Also,
the line passes through (-6,-17)
So, we can find the y-intercept by substitution
y = mx + c
-17 = (1/2 * -6) + c
-17 = -3 + c
c = -14
So,
the equation is y = 1/2x - 14
