Remark.
The easiest way to do this question is to graph it. Start with that.
The red line is y = (1/3)^x
The blue line is y = 5*(1/3)^x
Comment
The red line's y intercept is (0,1)
The blue line's y intercept is (0,5)
Why
If the x value is 0 then (1/3)^0 = 1
y = (1/3)^0 = 1 * 1 = 1 and for the blue graph
y = 5*(1/3)^0 = 5*1 = 5
In other words, in this set of equations, the 5 makes the y intercept 5 times larger than the 1 in front of y = (1/3)^x
If you have choices, could you please list them? I may be giving you the right answer but not in the form required.

Answer:
- As the slopes of both lines 'm' and 'n' are the same.
Therefore, we conclude that the equation x-2y=4 represents the equation of the line 'n' if lines m and n are parallel to each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the slope-intercept of line equation is
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
Given the equation of the line m
y = 1/2x - 4
comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation
y = mx + b
Therefore,
The slope of line 'm' will be = 1/2
We know that parallel lines have the 'same slopes, thus the slope of the line 'n' must be also the same i.e. 1/2
Checking the equation of the line 'n'
solving for y to writing the equation in the slope-intercept form and determining the slope
Add -x to both sides.
Divide both sides by -2
comparing ith the slope-intercept form of the line equation
Thus, the slope of the line 'n' will be: 1/2
- As the slopes of both lines 'm' and 'n' are the same.
Therefore, we conclude that the equation x-2y=4 represents the equation of the line 'n' if lines m and n are parallel to each other.
