You can put this solution on YOUR website!
write an equation for the line parallel to the line -4y = 2 through the point (8, -4).
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-4y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"2%2F%28-4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"-1%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "This is a horizontal line passing thru y=-.5
\n" ); document.write( "the parallel line will also be horizontal and pass thru y=-4 and all values of x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "looks like this (y=-4 is green)
