Answer:
y = -[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If a line is parallel then it has the same slope as your original line, so solve your equation for y, 2y = -x +14, divide both sides by 2 so y = - 1/2 x + 7
So your new parallel line has a slope of -1/2, since it passes through (-8,0) now find your y-intercept, so y = -1/2 x + 7 is 0 = -1/2(-8) + b so 0 = 4 + b
so b = -4, so put it all together
y = -[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x - 4
