(a) Define a line that has the same y-intercept as 2y = 6x +8
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 6x +8
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept = (0,4), so there are infinitely many lines that go through that point.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(b) Define a line parallel to 4x +4y = 20
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 4y = 20
\n" ); document.write( "4y = -4x + 20
\n" ); document.write( "y = -1x + 5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So, the desired line has a slope of -1 and goes through the point (0,4).
\n" ); document.write( "y = -1x + 4
\n" ); document.write( ".
