"The line the same y-intercept as the line whose equation 2y=6x+8 and
is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x+4y=20."
;
Change the equation to the slope intercept form (y = mx + b)
2y = 6x + 8
Divide equation by 2
y = 3x + 4
Therefore
The line as a y intercept of 4
:
Parallel lines have the same slope;
Find the slope by putting in the equation in the point/intercept form
4x + 4y = 20
4y = -4x + 20
Divide equation by 4, results
y = -1x + 5
:
Now we know the slope (-1) and the y intercept (+4) if the line
y = -1x + 4
or just
y = -x + 4 is "the line"
