Question

Write an equation in standard form for the line that is parellel to the graph of -8x=5-4y and has a y-intercept -0.5

A x+.05=0.25

B 10x-5y=2

C 4x-2y=1

D 2x-y=1

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

C 4x -2y = 1

Explanation:

The y-intercept of the offered choices can be found by dividing the constant by the y-coefficient.

A: not in standard form (coefficients are not integers)

B: 2/-5 = -2/5 . . . not -1/2

C: 1/-2 = -1/2 . . . a good candidate

D: 1/-1 = -1 . . . not -1/2
