Question 217384: write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line. write the answer in slope-intercept form. (0,8), 4y - 8x = 9

(0,8), 4y - 8x = 94
4y=8x+94
y=8x/4+94/4
y=2x+23.5 (red line) this line has a slope=2 & the parallel line will also have the same slope.
8=2*0+b
b=8 the y intercept.
y=2x+8 (green line)
