work out the equation of the line which passes through the point (-1, 2) and is paralell to the line y = x + 4

Aline has a slope of 1/4 and passes through point (0.4,-1/2). what is the value of the y-intercept?

Ineed to know the answer to this algebra question.

Afactory makes propeller drive shafts for ships. a quality assurance engineer at the factory needs to estimate the true mean length of the shafts. she randomly selects four drive shafts made at the factory, measures their lengths, and finds their sample mean to be 1000 mm. the lengths are known to follow a normal distribution whose standard deviation is 2 mm. calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of the shafts. input your answers for the margin of error, lower bound, and upper bound.
