In order to find this equation we must first find the slope of the original line. To do this, we need to solve the original equation for y.
2x + 4y = 16
4y = -2x + 16
y = -1/2x + 4
The original slope (the coefficient of x) is -1/2, which means the new slope will also be -1/2 because parallel lines have the same slope. Now, we can use this slope along with the point in point-slope form to find the equation of the line.
The answer is five because if you go for -3 that’s one in 8-6 is two and if you add one and three that’s for sure the only one you need is five and that would be just make no sense at all
