Answer:

y = -5x -19

Explanation:

You want the equation of the line parallel to y=-5x+3 through point (-3, -4).

Parallel lines

The equations of parallel lines differ only in their constant. We can find the new constant by using the values at the given point:

y = -5x +b

-4 = -5(-3) +b

b = -4 -15 = -19 . . . . . . subtract 15

The equation is ...

y = -5x -19
