To find out the y-intercept of the line that is
parallel to y = 0.5x - 2, what should you do?
Since the parallel line goes through the point (3,
0) substitute 3 for x and 0 for y and solve for b,
the y-intercept.
You cannot solve it because you do not know
what x and y are for the parallel line.
Since the parallel line goes through the point (3,
0) substitute 0 for x and 3 for y and solve for b,
the y-intercept.
