U turn negative numbers from mixed numbers to improper fractions the same way u do with positive...u just temporarily disregard the negative sign.
Example :
- 2 2/3.....temporarily disregard the negative sign......take ur whole number (2) and multiply it by ur denominator (3) giving u 6, then add that to ur numerator (2) giving u 8....then put that number over the original denominator (3) giving u 8/3...and then put back ur negative sign...-8/3

Answer:
4 R 3 or 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-2y=8 ==> y=2x-4 (to better show you what I mean)
2 lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m the coefficient of x).
So y=mx + b // y =2x-4 means m=2 & y=mx + b, becomes y=2x + b.
Moreover they are telling us that this function passes by (-2,1), where -2 represents x & 1, represents y. To calculate b , replace x & y by their values:
y=2x+b ==> 1 = 2(- 2) + b==> 1 = -4 + b ==> b= 5. Finally the equation is
y=-2x+5
