Answer:

First we need to isolate the y in the equation

-4y=16-2x (subtract the 2x)

4y=2x-16 (divide both sides by -1)

y=1/2x-4 (divide both sides by 4)

The we know the slope of this line is 1/2. I'm not sure what the choices are, but the answer would have to have a slope of 1/2. For example, y=1/2x+2 might be an answer.

Hope this helps
