The equation for line j can be written as y=1⁄2x -4. parallel to line j is line k, which passes through the point (-8,-5) what is the equation of line k?

write the equation in slope-intercept form. Write the numbers in the equation as simplified proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers​

Answer:

-7

Explanation:

This is a good question, the line k is parallel to the

line j and is given by (-8,-5), so we can write it as

y=-1/2x+4, this gives us an equation of a line which

passes through (0,0) with slope -1/2 i think it will be

the equation of the x axis.
