Find the equation of a line, in slope-intercept form of a line that passes through the point (-5, -1) and is parallel to the line -2x + 4y = 8.

1. y = -1/2x +13/2
2. y = 1/2x - 3/2
3. y = -1/2x - 7/2
4. y = 1/2x + 3/2

Answer:

4. y = 1/2x + 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to change the line that's parallel into slope-intercept form.

-2x + 4y = 8

4y = 2x + 8

y = 1/2x + 2

If it's parallel, then it remains the same. So our slope is 1/2.

To find the y-intercept, you need to plug the coordinates into the equation.

y = 1/2x + b

-1 = 1/2(-5) + b

-1 = -5/2 + b

3/2 = b

y = 1/2x + 3/2
