Find the equation of a line, in slope intercept form of a line that passes through the point (-5,-1) and is parallel to the line -2x + 4y =8

y = 1/2x + 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation of the line

y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1)

First find the slope of the line

-2x + 4y = 8

It must be in this form

y = mx + C

4y = 8 + 2x

divide through by 4

4y/4 = 8 + 2x / 4

y = 8 + 2x/4

Let's separate

y = 8/4 + 2x/4

y = 2 + 1/2x

y = 1/2x + 2

Therefore, our slope or m is 1/2

Using the equation of the line

y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1)

With point (-5, -1)

x_1 = -5

y_1 = -1

y - (-1) = 1/2(x - (-5)

y + 1 = 1/2( x + 5)

Opening the brackets

y + 1 = x + 5 / 2

y = x + 5/2 - 1

Lcm is 2

y = x + 5 / 2 - 1/1

y = x + 5 -2/2

y = x +3/2

We can still separate it

y = x /2 + 3/2

y = 1/2x + 3/2

The equation of the line is

y = 1/2x + 3/2

The correct answer is A

518,400

step-by-step explanation:
