Write the equation of the line that passes through the origin and parallel to 2y-4x+4 = 0

First we will write the equation into the slope
for,.


==> y-y1 = m(x-x1) such that (x1,y1) is any
point passes through the line and m is the
slope.


==> Given that the line passes through the
origin, then the line passes through the point
(0,0)


==> y- 0 =
m(x-0)


==> y=
mx..........(1)


now let us determine the
slope.


We know that the line 2y-4x + 4 = 0 is parallel to
our line.


Let us rewrite into the slops
form.


==> 2y=
4x-4


==> y= 2x-2


Then
the slope m = 2.


==> Then the equation
of the line is written y= 2x  OR  it is written  y-2x =
0

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
