Cuts a piece of wood for project the first cut shown and can be represented by the equation y=-1/2x+3. the second cut needs to be parallel to the first. it will pass through the point (0,-8). identify the equation that represents francine second cut. a. y=-1/2x+8 b. y=-2x+8 c. y=2x-8 d. y=-1/2x-8

D. Y=-1/2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lines are parallel, they have the same slope.

y = -1/2x +3  is in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

-1/2 is the slope so the new line will have a slope of -1/2

(0,-8)  is the y intercept since x=0

We can write the equation since we know the slope (-1/2) and the y intercept (-8)

y = -1/2x-8

d is the answer
