ANSWER:

y=8/5x±R (Read explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Letting you know, you did not attach a picture. Thus, I'm guessing. Parallel lines mean that the slope will be the same, but the y-intercept is not. The slope here is 8/5x. That may stay the same, so here's the equation that we currently have:

y=8/5x (This can be the answer)

However, we must change the y-intercept which is -1 currently. You may change it to any real number. For example, 1, 0, -100, 10000, 999, etc. would work. So, the answer would be:

y=8/5x±R (R as All Real Numbers)

An equation with the same slope and different y-intercept.
For example y=8/5x + 1 or y=8/5x-4
