Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to 2x + 4y = 10 and passes through the point (8, 2). a) 16x + 8y = 10 b) y = −12x + 6 c) y = −12x+2 d) y=8x + 2

y = -1/2 x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 10

4y = -2x + 10

y = -1/2 x + 5/2

Parallel lines, slope is the same = -1/2

passes through the point (8, 2) so

y - 2 = -1/2(x - 8)

y - 2 = -1/2 x + 4

y = -1/2 x + 6

y = -1/2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope intercept form of a line is .

Also, if two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. So re-writing the given equation 2x + 4y = 10 in the slope intercept form to find know its slope.

So the slope of the equation will be .

Finding the y-intercept (c):

Therefore, the equation of the line n slope intercept form that is parallel to 2x + 4y = 10 and passes through the point (8, 2) is y = -1/2x + 6.
