  1. Answer:

    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
