What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through point (0, -2) and is parallel to the line y = -1/2x + 6? Show all necessary steps.
Parallel line has a slope of - 1/2 and passes through point (0, -2).
Use point-slope equation y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) and convert to slope-intercept form of y = mx + b, here m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point on the line:
