1/2 (2 to the 3rd power times 2 to the negative 4th power)

a reflection across the x-axis , followed by the by a reflection across the y-axis , and then a scale dilation of 0.5 .

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
