Answer 1

Answer:

y= 1/2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

2y - x = 8

First find the slope

2y = x+8

Divide by 2

2y/2 = x/2 +8/2

y = 1/2 x +4

The slope is 1/2  ( y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept)

When lines are parallel they have the same slope)

Using y = mx+b

y =1/2x+b

Substituting the point (4,-1) into the equation

-1 =1/2(4)+b

-1 = 2+b

-3 =b

The equation of the line is

y= 1/2x-3
