What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (−2,1) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x − 2y = 8? *

since the lines are parallel to each other

m1 = m2( their slopes are equal)

4x - 2y = 8

-2y = 8 -4x

-2y = -4x + 8

divide both sides by -2

y = 2x - 4

since y = mx + c

m = 2

using the formula

y -y1 = m(x - x1)

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

y-1 =2 (x +2)

y -1 = 2x +4

y = 2x +4 +1

y= 2x + 5(equation of the line)

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
