select the equation of the line parallel to the equation 2x + 4y = -5 that passes through the point (-4, -8).
a). x + 2y = 16
b). 2x + y = -16
c). 2x + 4y = -9
d). x + 2y = -20

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put your original equation in slope-intercept form to find your slope.

Now that you have your slope () and a point, you can use point-slope form to find your y-intercept.

Your answer choices are all in form, so lets convert our equation into that form.

If we multiply all of our terms by 2, we can get answer choice D.
