Answer:
The equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y = (-2/3)x + 8 that passes through the point (4, -5) is:
y - (-5) = (-2/3)(x - 4)
Simplifying, we get:
y + 5 = (-2/3)x + 8/3
y = (-2/3)x - 7/3
Therefore, the equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y = (-2/3)x + 8 that passes through (4, -5) is y = (-2/3)x - 7/3.
