Answer:

y = -3/5x - 2

Explanation:

6x + 10y = 30

10y = -6x + 30

y = -3/5 + 3

Now, we use the point-slope form formula to solve. Since the line we want to find parallels the given line, it will have the same slope.

y - 4 = -3/5(x - (-10))

y - 4 = -3/5(x + 10)

y - 4 = -3/5x - 6

y = -3/5x - 2

So, the answer is y = -3/5x - 2
