find an equation of the line that has a y-intercept of 2 that is parallel to the graph of the line 4x+2y=8
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "4x+2y=8\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "can be divided through by 2\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2x+y=4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Parallel lines only differ by the constant terms. So we drop off the 4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2x+y=?\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute in the y-intercept which is the point (0,2)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2(0)+2=?\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "   0+2=2\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the answer is\r\n" );
