Write an equation for the line that is parallel to 8x + 2y = 4 and goes through (0,7)​

y = -4x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope of the first equation

8x + 2y = 4

Subtract both sides by 8x

8x + 2y = 4

-8x         -8x

2y = -8x + 4

Then divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable, y

2y/2 = (-8x + 4)/2

y = -4x + 4

This means the slope is -4, so our other equation will need to have the slope of -4 to be parallel

y = -4x + ?

Wait, the equation also needs to be a line where it goes through (0,7)

Luckily, that just seems to be the y-intercept, so our work is cut out for us.

Here is our equation

y = -4x + 7

You can plug in the numbers to check

7 = -4(0) +7

7 = 0 + 7

7 = 7
