what is the equation of a line that is parallel to 4y = -16x + 8 and that has a y-intercept of -2?

Question

what is the equation of a line that is parallel to 4y = -16x + 8 and that has a y-intercept of -2?

Answer 1

1.  determine the slope of the given line; every line parallel to that has the same slope!
2.  now use that slope value as m and the y-intercept as given, b= -2, in the Slope Intercept form of equation, y = mx + b.
