Answer:

y = 1/8x

Explanation:

REMEBER: When the slopes are two lines are equal, they're parallel.

Given Equation:

  • x - 8y = 48 ---> This equation is in standard form.

⇒ -8y = -1x + 48

⇒ y = 1/8x + 6

As a result, the equation of the parallal line to the given equation x - 8y = 48 is:

⇒ y = 1/8x
