Answer:
y = - 8x + 3
Explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 8x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 8
• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then
y = - 8x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line
to find c substitute (- 0.5, 7 ) into the partial equation
7 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 7 - 4 = 3
y = - 8x + 3 ← equation of parallel line
