Answer:
y= 1/2x-3
Explanation:
2y - x = 8
First find the slope
2y = x+8
Divide by 2
2y/2 = x/2 +8/2
y = 1/2 x +4
The slope is 1/2 ( y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept)
When lines are parallel they have the same slope)
Using y = mx+b
y =1/2x+b
Substituting the point (4,-1) into the equation
-1 =1/2(4)+b
-1 = 2+b
-3 =b
The equation of the line is
y= 1/2x-3
