i hope this answer was correct (:
The answer is A.
Parallel lines have the same slope, which is 1/2 in this problem. The equation of the line in A matches the slope of 1/2 and also passes through (-8,0). You can check that it does by substituting the x and y values in the equation, like this:
0 = 1/2(-8) + 4
0 = -4 +4
0 = 0 which checks!
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the distance between (-8,-4) and (2,-9).
We use the distance formula:

We substitute the coordinates to get:

We simplify to obtain:

Add the numbers within the parenthesis to get:

Find the squares of the numbers under the radical


number 1 = x
number 2 = y

replacing y in the second equation

solve for y

number 1 is 15
number 2 is 2
