Answer:

  • The equation is-: y=3x

Explanation:


\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered} \sf{Substitute \ the \ values \ into \ the \ formula \ y-y_1=m(x-x_1)} \\ \sf {parallel \ lines \ have \ same \ slopes, \ thus} \\ \sf{slope \ of \ the \ 2nd \ line = 3}\\ \sf{now \ substitute \ the \ values} \\ \sf {y-(-5)=3(x-4)}\\ \sf{y+5=3(x-4) (It's \ Point-Slope\;Form, \ see \ below \ for \ slope-intercept)}\\ \sf {y+5=3x-12} \\ \sf{y=3x-12-5} \\ \sf{y-3x-17} \end{gathered}$}}
