The equation of a parallel line will have the same x-term, but a different constant (y-intercept). The required value can be found by putting the given point values in to the equation to see what it needs to be.

... y = 5x + ___

... 8 = 5·4 + ___

... 8 - 20 = -12 = ___

Your equation is ...

... y = 5x -12
