Step 1
Given point (-1,2) and the line $y =\frac{1}{2}x-3$
Step 2
We know that the slope of two parallel lines are equal.
The slope of the line $y=\frac{1}{2}x-3 is m = \frac{1}{2}$
So, the slope of required line is also $m = \frac{1}{2}$. The equation of line is
$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$
$y-2=\frac{1}{2}(x+1)$
$y-2=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$
$y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}$
