Question

write the equation of a line that is parallel to the line described by x-4y=8. Explain how you know the lines are parallel. Plz help

Answer 1

If the lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, then the lines are parallel.

Answer 2

Just change the 8 to any other number, and you will get the equation of a parallel line.
The explanation is that changing the 8 only moves the line up and down, but does not change the slope of the line.
