Question

Find the equation of the line satisfying the given conditions giving it in slope-intercept form
Through (0,- 4), parallel to 2x + y = 8

(Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -2x - 4

or

2x + y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

let's put it into slope intercept form

2x - 2x + y = 8 - 2x

y = -2x + 8

so the slope is -2 so we just need to change the intercept:

your equation should be y = -2x - 4 or 2x + y = -4
