Question

what is the equation of the line parallel to -4x+2y=16 and passes through (9,-1) in slope intercept form?

Answer 1

first get the slope.

Answer 2

so get it into the form y=mx+b where m = slope
so, y=8+2x and the slope is 8

Answer 3

now you need a line that has the same slope but passes through (9,-1)

Answer 4

start with point slope form
(y-(-1))=8(x-9)
and convert to slope intercept form.
make sense?
