Answer:

The answer to your question is:

slope- y intercept (y + 9) = -3/4 (x + 2)

general equation 3x + 4y + 42 = 0

Explanation:

Data

Point = (-2, -9)

parallel to -3x - 4y = -5

Process

Find "m"

-4y = 3x - 5

y = -3/4 x + 5/4

m = -3/4

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y + 9) = -3/4 (x + 2)

4(y + 9) = -3(x + 2)

4y + 36 = -3x - 6

3x + 4y + 36 + 6 = 0

3x + 4y + 42 = 0
