Answer:
y=1/2x+6
Explanation:
Lines that are parallel will have the same slope, so the slope will remain 1/2. However, the y-intercepts can't be the same because then they will overlap each other instead. So we must solve for the missing y-intercept in this case:
y = 1/2x + b
4 = 1/2(-4) + b
4 = -2 + b
6 = b
b = 6
Since the y-intercept is b=6, then the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,4) and is parallel to the line y=1/2x-4 is y=1/2x+6
