Answer:
the desired equation is y = -2x - 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope. Thus, the new line must begin with
y = -2x and end with +b, where b is the y-intercept.
If the new line is to pass through (-8, 0), then y = -2x + b becomes
0 = -2(-8) + b, or b = -16,
and so the desired equation is y = -2x - 16.
