Question

Write an equation that represents the line that is parallel to the line 4x - 2y=8 and passes

through the point (0,-8).

Answer 1

y=2x-8

Explanation:

1.solve for y

4x-2y=8

-2y=-4x+8 divide both sides by -2

y=2x-4

slope is 2

the slopes of parallel lines are equal

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-8)=2(x-0)

y+8=2x

y=2x-8
