Answer:

C. y = 1/2x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula  y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )  to find the line parallel to  y = 1 /2 x − 8 .

y = 1 /2 x − 14                              PARALLEL

Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula  y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )  to find the line perpendicular to  y = 1 /2 x − 8 .

y = − 2 x − 29                               PERPENDICULAR
