Solving for X:
1) y=-8x+6.5 y=-4x+11
2) -8x+6.5=-4x+11
3) -8x=-4x+11-6.5 (Subtract 6.5 from both sides)
4) -8x+4x=11-6.5 (Add 4x to both sides)
5)-4x=4.5
5)x=-1.125
Solving for Y:
y=-8(-1.125)+6.5
y=9+6.5
y=15.5
y=-4(-1.125)+11
y=4.5+11
y=15.5
x=-1.125
y=15.5
or
(-1.125,15.5)

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
