a) Find the equation of the line which is parallel to the line with the equation y= 1/2x -1/4 and which passes through the point (8,-3)​

y = 1/2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

since they are parallel, their slope(m) must be the same. since they are in the slope-intercept form y=mx+b just substitute the slope and x and y values

-3 = 1/2(8) + b

-3 = 4 + b

b = -7

plug this back into your original equation

y = mx+b

y = 1/2x -7
