Answer:

y = -1/2x - 1

Explanation:

A line that is parallel to another will have the same slope. All we need to do is find the new y-intercept. We can do that by using the slope intercept form equation [ y = mx + b ].

1 = -1/2(-4) + b

1 = 2 + b

-1 = b

Now we can input the information we know and solved for back into the formula.

y = -1/2x - 1

Best of Luck!
